Who doesn’t love the simplicity of an Instant Pot recipe? You can literally cook a meal your family will love in no time at all. If you’re looking for a new way to serve chicken that adds flavor and richness to your dinners, then this Instant Pot Chicken Breast Recipe with Cream Cheese is the perfect dish for you.

Instant Pot Chicken Breast Recipe

Since the Instant Pot is so versatile, I feel like I can prepare anything in it quickly and with little hassle. If you haven’t gotten one yet, it’s a worthwhile investment for the winter months, when we spend more time at home enjoying warming dinners with our families. This Instant Pot recipe prepares the chicken so that it retains all of the flavor and juices, keeping the meat tender and cooking it to perfection.

This dish is best served with salad, baked potatoes, or some macaroni salad, but you can certainly serve it alongside any side you prefer. Using only four different ingredients, this recipe couldn’t be easier to prepare. With just five minutes of prep time, you’ll then throw everything into the Instant Pot, and it will be ready to eat in just 25 minutes.

The best thing about the Instant Pot on a busy night is that you can just put everything into it, and you’ll come back to a meal that is ready to serve. After a busy day at work, it’s a lifesaver and you’ll still be able to serve your family a hearty and satisfying meal that they’ll think you spent hours working on in the kitchen! Even after all my years of cooking and trying new recipes, I keep coming back to the Instant Pot on those busy nights where I can’t face another minute on my feet!

To season the chicken, this recipe calls for Everything but the Bagel seasoning. This is such a versatile ingredient, and I am always finding new ways to incorporate it into my cooking. It adds a crunchy, roasted flavor to so many dishes, and I love to use it on popcorn, salads, pasta, and dips.

So what are you waiting for? Follow our recipe below, and you’ll have a quick dinner that’s perfect for a busy night. This recipe serves three people, but to feed more, simply add another chicken breast and increase the other ingredients’ quantities per additional person you are cooking for.

Instant Pot Chicken Breast With Cream Cheese Seasoned with Everything but the Bagel (serves 3)

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes (including coming to pressure and natural release)

Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients to prepare the Instant pot Chicken breast:

  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 4 oz cream cheese (half a brick)
  • 3.5 TBSP Everything but the bagel seasoning, divided
  • 1 tsp Red pepper flakes

How to Make Instant Pot Cream Cheese Chicken – a Step-By-Step Guide

  1. Start by mixing together your cream cheese, red pepper flakes, and 1.5 tablespoons of the Everything but the Bagel seasoning until they are all well combined.
  2. Score each chicken breast about eight times. The number of times you will need to score depends on the size of the chicken breasts. 

3. Between each score, add in the cream cheese mixture from Step 1. This should be evenly spread throughout the chicken.

4. Take the remaining two tablespoons of the Everything but the Bagel seasoning and add this to your food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, use the back of a spoon or knife to create a finer texture to the seasoning. Once done, sprinkle this on top of the chicken breasts.

5. Using aluminum foil, create a boat to hold each chicken breast inside.

  1. Add one and a half cups of water to your Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside, and add each chicken breast in aluminum foil to your Instant Pot. If you have a tall trivet for your pot, you can add that in for the third chicken breast to rest on top of. If not, they can lay on top of one another.
  2. Cook for 18 minutes on a high-pressure setting. Once the chicken is done, allow it to naturally release for about five minutes, followed by a manual release, which is done by pulling the valve to release the pressure.
  3. Insert a food thermometer into each piece of chicken, to ensure that each chicken breast is at a temperature of 165°.

9. To serve, you can top each chicken breast with a little bit more seasoning, or chicken flakes if you prefer. I like to serve this dish with a side salad, baked potato, or macaroni salad!

Using the Instant Pot makes cooking so easy and hassle-free. On even the most hectic nights of the week, I feel relieved to be able to cook a nutritious and substantial meal for my family, without having to spend the whole night in the kitchen.

So go ahead and give this Instant Pot Chicken Breast recipe a try. Kids and teens will love this recipe, and you can adjust the seasoning for more sensitive palates if needed. I hope you enjoy this Cream Cheese Chicken recipe as much as I do!
