Press the Sauté function (normal setting) on the Instant Pot and add the olive oil to the pot (I use a 6-quart Instant Pot DUO).
Place the chicken in the Instant Pot and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes, or until browned. This helps to seal in the juices and keep them tender (you may need to work in batches depending on the size and amount of chicken you are using). Once golden brown, remove from the Instant Pot and set aside.
Melt butter in Instant Pot and stir in onions and garlic. Add lemon juice to deglaze pan and cook for 1 minute. Add Italian seasoning, lemon zest and chicken broth.
Return the chicken to the Instant Pot, lock the lid and turn the valve to SEALING.
Select the Manual (older models) or Pressure Cooker (newer models) button and set the timer for 7 minutes.
It will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to pressure cook and begin the countdown.
