Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

Step 2

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add oil and roasted garlic to the pot; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Season one side of chicken breasts with 1/2 each garlic and herb seasoning, garlic salt, and black pepper. Place breasts into the pot, seasoned-side down. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Season top side breasts with remaining 1/2 each garlic and herb seasoning, garlic salt, and black pepper. Flip and cook until other side is browned, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Arrange artichoke hearts and olives around chicken breasts in the pot, filling in any gaps on bottom and top of breasts; top with red onion. Pour dressing over chicken breasts.

Step 5

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 6

Remove chicken breasts from the pot. Whisk arrowroot starch into the liquid in the pot until combined. Return breasts to the pot. Allow sauce to thicken, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; top with feta cheese.
