  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
• For the Sauce:
  • 1 cup pitted green olives
  • 1 cup dried prunes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup capers, with a bit of juice

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
   • Set the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode and heat the olive oil.
   • Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2. Create the Sauce:
   • In the same Instant Pot, add the olives, prunes, capers, garlic, white wine, chicken broth, brown sugar, and bay leaves.
   • Stir to combine and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
3. Cook:
   • Return the chicken to the pot and submerge it in the sauce.
   • Secure the lid, set the valve to ‘Sealing,’ and cook on ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ high for 10 minutes.
   • Once cooking is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
4. Final Touches:
   • Remove the chicken and set it aside.
   • Set the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode and reduce the sauce for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
   • Stir in the parsley and red wine vinegar, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the thickened sauce.
