Creamy Pesto Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
4lbs. Boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 cup chicken broth
⅓ cup coconut milk
1 cup chopped tomatoes
¼ cup pesto sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ onion, super fine dice
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
½ tsp. Chili pepper flakes
1 ½ Tbsp. arrowroot
1 ½ tsp. Chicken broth
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
zucchini

Directions:
Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper and garlic powder on both sides. Turn the instant pot to saute and once hot add a couple of teaspoons of olive oil and then lay the chicken in a single layer. Sear the thighs for 1 minute per side. Place the seared pieces onto a clean plate.

Add another teaspoon of oil to the pan and add the onion and saute for 4 to 5 minutes. During the last minute add the garlic and stir constantly for 1 minute.

To deglaze the pan add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release the fond. Add the tomato, pesto sauce, Italian seasoning, chili pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.

Place the rack in the instant pot and place the chicken on top of the rack. Pressure cook for 9 minutes and then do a quick release.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare your zoodles. Cut the ends off of the zucchini and place it in the zoodle machine. I like to cut my zoodles a little bit so they are not too long.

Place the zoodles into a large frying pan with a little olive oil over medium heat. Saute the noodles for 4 to 5 minutes or until they become slightly soft. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to season if you wish.

Once the chicken is done, remove the chicken from the pot along with the rack. Turn the instant pot to saute. Mix the arrowroot and the chicken broth together with a spoon. Once the sauce is simmering slowly add the arrowroot mixture slowly while stirring the sauce. Let it simmer while stirring for 1 to 2 minutes and then turn off the heat.

Add the chicken back to the pot and serve.

Then to serve this up just place some hot zoodles onto a plate and ladle some chicken and sauce over the top. Enjoy!
