Instant Pot Bruschetta Chicken
This Instant Pot Bruschetta Chicken is a new way to spice up your chicken.
I don’t know about you, but I was getting tired of just eating plain chicken, so I decided I needed to find some new recipes to “spice” up the ordinary chicken recipe. This chicken bruschetta hit the spot. It is so yummy and will get even the pickiest eater interested in eating healthy.
I found this particular recipe when I was searching for stuff to make in my Instant Pot. It jumped out at me, and I have been making it ever since. I make this at least twice a month. Usually that is by request from my husband.
This is a fantastic recipe because most of the items needed for the recipe are already going to be in your pantry. Let me tell you about cleanup, it is basically nonexistant and who doesn’t love that?
This Instant Pot Bruschetta Chicken is a recipe I would shout at the top of the mountains. Everyone needs to try it!

Bruschetta Chicken
Print RecipeIngredients
- 4 Chicken Breast Thawed
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 4 Ripe Tomatoes Diced
- 1/2 cup Fresh Basil or 1/4 Cup Dried
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 Cloves of Garlic Minced
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- Spinach
Instructions
- Marinade chicken breast in balsamic vinegar overnight or for 1 hour before cooking.
- Mix tomatoes, basil, olive oil, garlic and sea salt in a bowl and let sit at room temperature for an hour.
- Pre-heat your Instant Pot using the Sauté function (normal), a cast iron pan on medium, or a grill.
- Add a couple teaspoons of olive oil to your preheated pan.
- Place chicken breasts in the pot and cook until edges are opaque, about 10 minutes. Flip to the other side, then cover the pot, and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Serve chicken over a bed of spinach and top with the tomato mixture.
When you cover the pot and cook for 10 more minutes, is that on sauté or pressure cooked?
Saute. 🙂
Are you sealing it when you cover it (twisting it to the right), or just merely setting the cover on top?
Just setting it on top
I am new to the instant pot. This will be my first meal. Do I need to add water to the pot when cooking this?
No, for this one you use it just like your would a regular pan. 🙂
Brittany, how would it be different if done under pressure?
How is the spinach prepared?
I serve everything over raw spinach and eat it like a salad. 🙂
Can I use cherry or grape tomatoes?
Sure!
This is delicious and even better the next day!!
Delicious does not even begin to describe this entrée!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No leftovers with this meal – my 15 year old son had 3 servings.
We bought tomatoes at the farmers market & prepared this recipe! It was beyond amazing!
This recipe is delish! Filling enough…but doesn’t make you feel miserable. Love the flavors!
This recipe is so yummy. It was so satisfying. Great for summer or anytime. Yum yum 👅
I made the Bruschetta Chicken for my family and my husband said “it looks so fancy”. Then he ate it and declared “fancy and delicious”!! My whole family loved it and I loved how simple and healthy it is. It is a fantastic recipe to have on hand!
This was the first Instant Loss meal I made and it is AMAZING. The first night I made it I did wilt the spinach a little to take away the rawness and have a nice warm meal. But I ate leftovers as salad for the rest of the week and all of my co-workers were jealous 🙂 Definitely a keeper!
Is this boneless skinless breasts?
Yes. 🙂
Say Whhhat! Man, this was so yummy. The fresh tomato/basil mixture was heavenly. My Husband was disappointed there wasn’t more and asked to put this in the rotation. Now I have to figure out how to keep basil alive in my house.
Very easy and delicious meal! The kids even ate it. We didn’t have it over spinach but with rice and a side salad.
I LOVED This recipe!!!! I have would have never thought to use the Balsamic Vinegar this way before but it comes back awesome! My family wasn’t big on raw greens but I loved it!
CAn you use a can of diced tomatoes instead?
Sure! 🙂
Would this be able to be made in a crock pot? No instant pot… YET! 😉
Very interested in trying this. 1/4 cup of dried basil seems like an awful lot of dried basil — is that a typo by chance?
Thanks!
It’s correct. 🙂
Thanks for the response 🙂
Can you be a bit more specific with pressure Times when cooking in the instant pot. How much cook time, at what pressure, and NPR Times? Not sure if you are strictly sautéing the chicken or are pressure cooking it.
the instant pot directions say the lid can’t be on in the sauté mode?!?! So how do you cook for 10 more minutes on sauté with the lid on? Thanks 🙂
It’s just placed on, more to steam than anything. 🙂
OMG! This was absolutely fantastic!! I could eat just the tomato mix over spinach as a salad. So good!!!
I am very allergic to balsamic vinegar. Have you ever substituted anything else for a marinade?
Made this last night, soooo good. My husband loved it too. It’s so easy and I always have all the ingredients on hand. This will be a regular at our house now. Thanks
Made this last night and everyone loved it! I added some fresh goat cheese to the tomatoes and that took it to the next lever!
