Instant Pot Balsamic Chicken is a quick one-pot meal with juicy chicken breasts, tender baby potatoes, and wilted kale all cooked in a tangy-sweet balsamic glaze. It’s hearty, wholesome, and ready in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb small baby potatoes (or cut larger ones into 1-inch pieces)
  • 4 cups kale, stems removed
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Set Instant Pot to sauté mode, add olive oil, and sear chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté garlic in the pot until fragrant. Add balsamic vinegar and chicken broth, scraping up browned bits.
  4. Return chicken to the pot. Add potatoes around it.
  5. Seal and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Quick release pressure.
  6. Stir in kale, cover, and let wilt for 2–3 minutes on “Keep Warm.”
  7. Serve chicken, potatoes, and kale with balsamic glaze from the pot spooned over the top.

Notes

  • Swap kale for spinach, Swiss chard, or green beans.
  • Add honey or Dijon mustard to the balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
  • Use boneless thighs instead of breasts for juicier results.
  • Skip potatoes and serve with cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
