INGREDIENTS
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 lbs chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine seasonings in bowl and season both sides of each chicken breast to taste.
- Set the Instant Pot to saute (you can also do this step stovetop) and brown the chicken breasts on each side for 1-2 minutes. This step is optional but seals in flavor.
- Place trivet inside the Instant Pot.
- Pour chicken broth into the pot (directly over the chicken).
- Seal cooker and set to HIGH pressure for 8 minutes. SEE NOTE
- When it’s done, release the pressure valve and wait for pressure to release, then let the chicken rest another 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
NOTES
- I browned the breasts and it gave the chicken extra flavor and texture. Browning is totally optional.
- The chicken was cooked nicely at 8 minutes. However, if you’re planning to shred, I prefer 12 minute cook time.
- If using frozen chicken breasts, ensure that they are fully defrosted before seasoning and cooking.
- Mix up your seasonings! I used a simple seasoning blend, but you can use your favorite herbs and spices.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
