Low Carb Instant Pot Bruschetta Chicken

Instant Pot Bruschetta Chicken cooked with tomatoes, garlic, oil over Zoodles and topped with basil is a fragrant and delicious low carb meal.

Tender chicken breast cooks with tomatoes, garlic, oil, Parmesan cheese. Top with basil and Mozzarella over Zoodles (or spaghetti)! Whether following a low carb diet or not, Instant Pot Bruschetta Chicken is a fragrant and flavorful light and fresh meal. Instant Pot Bruschetta Chicken has all the feels of an Italian restaurant, but without the carbs.

When we go out to eat at Italian restaurants, it is so easy to make a meal out of the Bruschetta and the Bread. That is all I need. 🙂

My Pressure Cooker Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken has been the number one Chicken recipe on the Blog. Let’s see if this recipe can break the record.

There is so little effort and such a big taste.

Ingredients for Bruschetta Chicken

• Chicken Breast
• A good Extra Virgin Olive Oil – always use the best that YOU can afford
• Diced Tomatoes
• Lots of Fresh Garlic
• Red Onion
• Fresh Basil
• Sea Salt
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper
• Balsamic Vinegar
• Chicken Base
• Fresh Parmesan Cheese (not the grated stuff in the can)
• Mozzarella

Pro Tip: Do NOT use the grated/powdered stuff that comes in a green can or any other grated/powdered stuff. Use a block of real Parmesan cheese and shred it yourself!!!

Instant Pot Bruschetta Chicken is so easy to make and takes very little effort.

Make sure to drain the Diced Tomatoes, so the Sauce won’t be watery. I like to use Tomatoes that say “Imported from Italy.”

You are not going to even need a Mixing Bowl, as the ingredients will get mixed right in the cooking pot.

The Kassandrinos Olive Oil is a really good Olive Oil and priced right.

Give the Olive Oil, Diced Tomatoes, Fresh Garlic, Balsamic Vinegar, Red Onion, Salt and Pepper a quick mix.

After the Olive Oil, Diced Tomatoes, Fresh Garlic, Balsamic Vinegar, Red Onion, Salt and Pepper are mix together, add in the Chicken.

Lightly pound the Chicken, so that the Breasts are all about the same thickness.

Add the Freshly SHREDDED Parmesan Cheese (remember, a block of real cheese, not from a can) on top and you are ready to cook!!!

Appetizer for Bruschetta Chicken

• Pressure Cooker Low Carb Hot Onion Dip is a wonderful way to start out this meal.

While the Bruschetta Chicken is cooking, grab your Veggie Spiralizer. And a couple of Zucchini Squash. It’s that easy and only takes a minute.

Spiralize the Zucchini

• My manual hand held Spiralizer gets the job done, just not as fast. This Oxo Spiralizer does a better job.
• For the full flavor and nutrients, keep the skin on the Zucchini. I mean, obvi, no one peels Zucchini!

This Veggie Spiralizer comes with several blades, so you can choose the size of your Zoodles. I like to use the Spaghetti blade..

The Pressure Cooker Bruschetta Chicken with Zoodles recipe is really good with Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Squash.

The Zoodles can be used raw, so that is an advantage if you are in a hurry. (As an aside, Beet Zoodles are da bomb!!!!)

What I love about this recipe, besides it being so simple and quick, is the versatility. You can change it up a bit for other textures and flavors.

If you want to add some richness, a bit of Butter will do just that. For a Creamy Sauce, swirl in some Heavy Cream to the cooking pot.

For a change from Zoodles, try my Pressure Cooker Mashed Turmeric Cauliflower. OMG, the Bruschetta Chicken Sauce mixed with the Mashed Cauliflower is incredible. It’s almost decadent.

We have very fragrant Basil plants outside. The Fresh Basil adds such aroma and freshness to this dish.

Pro Tip: If you want to warm up the Zoodles and give them a bit of a steam, add them right into the pot and stir. The residual heat will cook them in about 30 second to the perfect tenderness.

I tend to just use them raw as the heat on the plate from the brushetta will soften the zucchini.

The hot and yummy Bruschetta will melt the Mozzarella to perfection.

No need to turn on the Oven or Air Fryer. Well, if you want to kick this up a notch, make some of my Air Fryer Radish Hash Browns. Crumble them on and sprinkle on top of the Bruschetta Chicken. Now THAT would be delish.
