Instant Pot Paleo Chicken Marsala is the perfect weeknight meal when you are short on time but don’t want to sacrifice taste or health!
We’re not homeless anymore! We have made the trek from DC to Illinois, waited a painful few weeks for our delayed moving truck, and ate too many meals outside of a home kitchen. I have such a love/hate relationship with dining out – I love not having to do the work but there’s always a trade for that; unsavory ingredients, cross contamination, and in general poor quality at most restaurants. So you can imagine my excitement when I finally got my kitchen stuff back!
Oh sweet Vitamix, Instant Pot, COFFEE MAKER! It’s obviously taken me awhile to get situated even with my stuff as indicated by yesterday’s coffee SNAFU, but now we are on track and this caffeinated chick is ready to cook! I asked y’all what I should make and got some excellent ideas! More of those will start popping up in the next weeks, but in the meantime, I got the “quick dinner”, “more chicken”, and “Instant Pot” voters, so I figured I’d killed all 3 birds (poor birds), and get this Instant Pot Paleo Chicken Marsala recipe to you!
I served it over gluten free noodles for my kids, of course you could also do mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, broccoli, or cassava noodles! And for funsies, I tried my hand at a video tutorial too so you can watch that too if you’re extra bored with too much time on your hands. In the meantime, here’s the recipe and my hopes that your weeknight dinners (especially as we head back to school) are less nightmarish and more delicious!

- Spoon in your slurry once you’ve removed the lid and stir to combine
- Now, if desired, incorporate the Worcestershire sauce
- Stir once more and then serve over your choice of starch or veggie
Do you add the chicken broth & wine when you add the chicken? Is my poor mommy brain missing this step? TIA!
Sorry edited~!!!
I like spiralized sweet potatoes or butternut squash as an alternative to any pasta
If not using instant pot brand pressure cooker what would be the length of time you would cook once lid locked?
8 minutes on high pressure
Can I use all broth instead of marsala wine and arrowroot over cassava?
Yes you can do that!
Should it be 2 T water and 1T cassava flour? 2T cassava and 1 T Water did not make a slurry.
Fixed!
