Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup chicken stock

Instructions

  • Place chicken in the body of the instant pot and add the stock. Cover, make sure the steam vent is closed.
  • Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes for thawed chicken or 15 minutes for frozen chicken*.
  • Pressure time will take about 10 minutes. Once chicken is done pressure cooking, allow it to naturally release for 10 minutes.
  • Use in your favorite dishes!

Notes

Note: If using frozen chicken, try to separate the pieces from each other first. This may leave the chicken unevenly cooked if it is in a frozen block.
