The first thing that makes it so speedy to to make this chicken is that you use chicken tenderloins. If you don’t have chicken tenderloins, you could cut chicken breasts into tender sized pieces. The size makes it faster to cook this Instant Pot speedy chicken.

I put the tenders in the Instant Pot, then toss it with a little olive oil. Then you combine the spices together. You need onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and kosher salt. You want to mix this all together and sprinkle it over the chicken. Then give the chicken a toss to evenly coat it with the spice mixture.

Next, you will add a little chicken broth to the pot. Then, you are going to put the lid on and set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for for 4 minutes. Now allow for a natural pressure release for 5 minutes. Then manually remove any remaining pressure.

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside on a plate. Then mix the cornstarch and water in with the juices that remain in the pot. Turn the Instant Pot on to sauté mode and cook until the juices thicken to make a sauce. urn off sauté mode and mix in the sour cream and lemon juice. Place the chicken back in the pot to toss in the sauce and serve.
