Steps:

• A favorite with cheese lovers, this 20 Minute Parmesan Chicken and Rice Dinner is comforting, quick-cooking and will bring a smile to everyone at your table. Step 1
• Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cover. Cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Step 2
• Remove chicken from skillet. Add water or milk and soup to skillet and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Step 3
• Add rice, peas and cheese to skillet and mix well. Top with chicken and cover. Step 4
• Cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Season with black pepper, if using. Recipe Tips If you don't have a nonstick skillet, increase oil to 2 tablespoons to help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan. If you want to add more flavor to this dish, try adding 1/2 teaspoon of dried and crushed oregano leaves to the soup when adding it to the skillet. If peas aren't your thing, sliced mushrooms, red peppers or asparagus make a great substitution here.

HEALTHY 20 MINUTE INSTANT POT CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Season and brown the chicken. Set the Instant pot to the "SAUTE" setting and add some olive oil to the bottom of the pot. Slice the chicken breasts in half so you have 4 chicken cutlets and season both sides of the chicken with the seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the Instant Pot and brown it for a few minutes on each side then remove it form the pot.
• Add the sauce and cook the chicken. Turn the Instant Pot off, then spread the sauce into the bottom of the pot and stir and cook it for a few minutes. Then add the chicken back to the pot and nestle it nicely in the sauce, making sure the pieces of chicken are not overlapping. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of each piece of chicken. Secure the lid, set the valve to the "SEALING" position and cook the chicken in manual mode on high for 3 minutes. Manually release the pressure after 3 minutes. Remove the lid and add the cheese to the top of each chicken cutlet, place the top back onto the Instant Pot for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
• Garnish and serve. Remove the chicken parmesan from the Instant Pot and place it onto a plate or serving dish. Garnish with fresh herbs such as sliced basil or parsley and another sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese.
