In just 10 minutes you can make my Lemon Olive Chicken in your pressure cooker! This recipe calls for boneless chicken breasts, fresh squeezed lemon, olives, and a winning combination of flavorful spices. Lemon Olive Chicken has a nice, robust lemon flavor that blends well with the olives for a vibrant dish that will have your taste buds singing. Serve with steamed asparagus and rice (I recommend my perfectly seasoned rice or cauliflower rice).

Notes
I use THIS multi-cooker which has both the saute and pressure cooker options. Â You can also make this recipe in a standard (stove top) pressure cooker, using 10 pounds of pressure for 10 minutes.
Really delicious and easy! I’ve made this a few times. I only used 1/4 cup butter, because 1/2 cup seems like a LOT. Wonder if it was a misprint.
I thought this was tasty–i omitted onions because they give me heartburn, and added red pepper instead along with a few sprigs of thyme. I also browned the chicken on the stove instead because they weren’t getting very browned in the instant pot. I only used lemon slices and no juice, and thought it was plenty acidic.
