Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

1 T. olive oil

1.8 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast

1.5 lbs. mini gold potatoes (or larger ones cut to similar size)

3 T. salted butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 c. chicken broth

3 T. lemon juice

1 T. Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp. sea salt, plus more for seasoning the chicken

black pepper, to taste

1 T. cornstarch mixed with 2 T. water

Directions:

1. Season the chicken breasts all over with sea salt and pepper.

2. Set pressure cooker to sauté function and add the olive oil. Once heated, add the chicken and sear on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Transfer to plate and set aside.

3. Melt the butter in the pot and add the minced garlic. Turn off the sauté function and let the garlic cook in the residual heat for around a minute.

4. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

5. Add the potatoes to the pot, then place the trivet in the pot and arrange the chicken atop it in an even layer.

6. Close/lock the lid on the pot and set the vent to "sealing". Set the cooker to poultry (high) for 5 minutes of pressure cooking.

7. Once the pressure cooking has finished, do a natural release for 10 minutes, then quick release rest of pressure afterwards.

8. Transfer potatoes and chicken to a plate. Remove the trivet from the pot.

9. Set to 'sauté' function. Once the sauce reaches simmer, whisk in the cornstarch/water mixture. Continue simmering for 2-3 minutes, until thickened.

10. Serve the chicken and potatoes drizzled with the sauce. Enjoy!
