Instant Pot Chicken Bruschetta Recipe
Instant Pot Chicken Bruschetta is one of our absolute favorite flavor combinations! We have always loved Caprese Salad (tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and balsamic). This is so similar, but with parmesan instead of mozzarella, so this Bruschetta Chicken recipe is just as delicious.
We actually made Grilled Bruschetta Chicken with Caprese flavors back in the day, but this was our first time trying it in an Instant Pot. And it works like a charm! Less than 30 minutes and you’ve got this delicious meal ready to serve!
Bruschetta Chicken Ingredients
I just love that you can combine fresh ingredients into a little machine, press a button, and a meal like THIS comes out. The Instant Pot makes such delicious chicken, and it’s just such an easy way to cook when you’re in a hurry.
The chicken breast gets cooked in the perfect mix of liquids and seasonings to make one amazing flavor. Then you just toss together everything for the tomato topping, combine it all, and you’ve got bruschetta chicken!
For the Chicken:
- Olive Oil
- Garlic
- White Wine
- Chicken Broth
- Italian Seasoning
For the Topping:
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Olive Oil
- Garlic
- Basil
- Salt & Pepper
And of course you can’t forget the toasted bread to serve alongside the chicken bruschetta recipe!
What are some good side dishes for this Instant Pot Chicken Brushetta?
We love to serve this dish with our Herb Roasted Potatoes , Crock Pot Potatoes , Brussels Sprouts , or Garlic Butter Hawaiian Rolls . And toasted bread, of course! You can’t go wrong with a simple and delicious recipe like this. The chicken speaks for itself.
Do you have other favorite Instant Pot Chicken Recipes?
We have been LOVING our pressure cooker lately, and we’ve been using it to make anything and everything! We love Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup, Instant Pot chicken thighs , and Instant Pot chicken tacos !
Can you cook frozen meat in a pressure cooker?
You can! If you are cooking meat frozen, it will need approximately 50% more cooking time inside the Instant Pot. So take that into account!
I hope this Instant Pot Chicken recipe helps you find your love for your pressure cooker! This is such an easy weeknight meal under 30 minutes and full of flavor! Try our Cheesy Bruschetta Chicken Bake if you don’t have an Instant Pot.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
