Instructions

Let's Season the Chicken Breasts:

Add the chicken breasts to a bowl or plate. Season all over with the salt black pepper and paprika.

Let's Cook the Chicken:

Add the 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil to the instant pot stainless steel insert. Turn on the saute mode and allow the oil to heat up.
Note: This takes about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken breasts to the hot oil. Cook the first side 3 minutes. Use a kitchen tongs to filp the breast over. Cook 3 more minutes. Remove the breasts to a bowl or plate.
Note: The breasts will develop a nice light brown color and it will release liquid. This is okay.

Let's bring it alltogether:

Add the onions, garlic and herbs to the instant pot. Cook 5 minutes until the onions soften and it becomes fragrant. Stir a couple of times during the cooking.
Note: Keep the setting in the saute mode.
Add in the mustard. Stir.
Add in the potatoes. Season with the salt and black pepper. Mix/Stir.
Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Stir. Bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add in the capers and tomatoes. Stir.
Add back the chicken and any juices it released. Try submerging the breasts into the liquid as best as possible.
Turn off the saute setting. Cover the pot with the pressure lid, making sure it is locked tightly.
Turn on the Poultry Setting. The pot will take 10 to 12 minutes to pressurize. Once it is pressurized, the poultry setting timer will come on for 15 minutes. The pot will beep once done.
Allow the the chicken to rest in the pot with the lid on. Let it rest for 10 minutes WITHOUT pressing the steam release valve.
10 minutes later, press the steam release valve. Once the steam is released, carefully open the lid. Transfer the chicken, veggies and sauce into a serving bowl. Serve and enjoy.
Note: We eat this delicious meal with additional vegetables, like grilled corn and asparagus.
