Red wine chicken breasts with vegetables is a savory dish that is super flavorful and easy to make in a pressure cooker (aka Instant Pot).
Pressure Cooker – Instant Pot Chicken
I have a new kitchen appliance to play with, and I’m loving everything about it. It’s not only a pressure cooker, you can saute, steam, slow cook, bake, sous vide and make yogurt in it. It’s super easy to use, and easy to clean!
When the pressure cooker rage started a few years ago, I had no intention to join in. I was pretty happy with my traditional ways of cooking. My grill, slow cooker, stovetop, and oven were working out just fine for me. That was until I had the opportunity to try out an Instant Pot type pressure cooker, and now I’m hooked! Especially when I make soup and chili.

Red wine and chicken is one of my favorites. It’s so warming without the heaviness. Can I do this in the crockpot or dutch oven?
Yes Analida you can do this in a crock pot or dutch oven. You will just need to add about 1/2 cup chicken broth and cook at 350 for about an hour and a half and 2 to 3 hours in slow cooker.
this looks delicious!!! I am always looking at different ways to use chicken breasts! For some reason I can never go past boring oven baked or in a curry!!! This would be so cozy for the fall with a glass of red wine!
Thank you Georgie!
This sounds so delicious. I must admit I have never tried tomatoes and wine in the same recipe. I’m so intrigued. I can’t wait to try this recipe.
thank you Veena! I hope you like it.
I am always looking for ways to spruce up chicken breasts! This recipe sounds delicious!
Thank you Kelly!
Great recipe! I am loving my Power Quick Pot!
I’m loving it too Lisa! I don’t know why I didn’t get one sooner!
Love this recipe as these are ingredients I always, always have in my pantry! All things Mediterranean are always a huge hit with my family so there’s no way I could go wrong with this one!
I was reluctant to buy one as well. Maybe I’ll go for it during black friday!l
Cathleen, you should go for it!
Wow, this Power Quick Pot sounds amazing! Anything that can save time in the kitchen is a win for me. Lovely recipe Anne, I bet it tastes divine.
We eat chicken several times a week and we’re always looking for new and healthier versions of dishes. This recipe looks like it gives the chicken plenty of flavor without loading it with calories. We are still on the fence about an Instant Pot — but we do have a slow cooker and a Dutch oven. Will be using one of them. Thank you for the tips on how to convert.
This looks fabulous! Except…I am a 100% die-hard dark meat girl, so I would make this with chicken thighs. And I love how simple, yet elegant, this is
This looks great. Chicken goes so great with tomato flavours, and I love a plate that’s stacked with plenty of veg.
This looks so full of flavor and I need more ideas to cook in my pressure cooker, so it’s perfect!
