INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT SPINACH ARTICHOKE CHICKEN:
Before you get started, get your ingredients rounded up so you’re not running around the kitchen like a crazy person.
Set the instant pot on sauté mode and drizzle the bottom with olive oil. Cook the chicken roughly 2-3 minutes, until browned.
Add the artichokes and seasonings and mix well. Cook another 2-3 minutes.
Press cancel on the instant pot and set to “keep warm”.
Stir in the heavy cream, cheeses, and spinach.
Replace the cover and hold on “keep warm” for 10 minutes. We’ve found that the “keep warm” setting melts cheeses perfectly while keeping everything hot since the instant pot typically doesn’t handle dairy well unless on a low setting.
Stir every 5 minutes until mixture is smooth and creamy.

I really am unhappy that so many of the “creamy” Instant Pot recipes call for cream cheese, which I’m not a big fan of. Can it be skipped in this recipe or is there a reasonable substitution?
That’s a good question. I love cream cheese and my family (who are not fans) actually like it in these recipes since you don’t taste it as a separate ingredient. Is it the tang you don’t like? Or the texture? I suppose you could use a really creamy cheese (like white American cheese or mozzarella.) 🙂
The taste of it is fine, but I find it to be too rich. I don’t like but a bite of cheesecake for the same reason. More than a bite or two and my stomach feels yucky for hours.
Wow, this was really good!! We had it with egg noodles on the side. Delicious!!
Did you marinated artichoke hearts?
You can use the jarred marinated artichoke hearts or plain. I like the marinated but it’s totally your preference!
This looks great! I will try this one!
So it’s served over pasta?
Nope! It’s served all by itself! It’s filling just as it is. However, if you want to “carb it up” a bit, you could certainly serve with noodles or pasta! 🙂
