Instructions
Set the Instant Pot to saute. Once it is hot, pour in the oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then nestled them into the bottom of the pot.
Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes. Then flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken to a bowl. Tip: Don't try flipping the chicken until at least 5 minutes, it won't release easily until at least that point.
Drop the garlic into the pressure cooker and stir. Cook a minute or two, then add the thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the broth, then the cream and sun dried tomatoes.
Bring to a boil, then turn off pot add the chicken back in and ladle sauce over top of chicken.
Lock on the Instant Pot cover. Manually set to high for eight minutes. Lock the pressure valve. Quick release after the eight minutes.

Notes
Nutrition based on ¼ teaspoon of sea salt. Values for Sundried Tomatoes seem to vary widely depending on source. I used Whole Foods 365 brand, so numbers are from that.As always the calculations are just an estimate.Give boneless chicken thighs 10-12 minutes rather than 8, to ensure they are tender.
