Ingredients

12 chicken tenderloins about 20 oz
1 Tbsp olive oil
¾ tsp onion powder
¾ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp black pepper
¾ tsp kosher salt
½ cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp sour cream

Instructions

Place chicken into Instant Pot. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and toss to coat.
In a small bowl, mix the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, pepper and salt. Sprinkle over the chicken and toss so it is evenly coated with the seasonings. Pour in the broth.
Place the lid on and make sure the valve is set to seal. Cook on manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes. When time is up allow for a natural pressure release for 5 minutes and then manually vent to remove any remaining pressure. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the 1 Tbsp cornstarch with 1 Tbsp water together until smooth. Turn Instant Pot on to sauté mode. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the pot to thicken the juices. Once it has thickened turn off the pot.
Stir in the lemon juice and sour cream. Place the chicken back in the Instant Pot and toss to coat with the sauce. Serves 4-6.
