Instant Pot Coconut Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken
A hands-off Whole30 chicken dish with coconut milk, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers: 10 minutes at high pressure and a 10-minute natural release, then a 3-minute simmer to thicken the sauce. This Asian-inspired chicken recipe (dairy-free, whole30), ready in about 25 minutes, pairs boneless skinless chicken breasts, coconut aminos, sun-dried tomatoes in oil for a weeknight-friendly dinner that comes together with one pan and minimal cleanup. Each serving lands at about 310 calories and feeds 4, so it slots cleanly into a Whole30 week and pairs well with roasted sweet potato or a simple olive-oil salad.
