Description

Easy and flavorful frozen chicken breasts made in the Instant Pot.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium chicken breasts (whole, frozen, boneless)
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth (or water)

Instructions

  1. Put frozen chicken breasts inside your Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
  2. Add chicken broth (you could use water but my preference is using broth for the flavor).
  3. Lock the lid and close your steam valve.
  4. Set to manual, pressure, high for 4 frozen chicken breasts = 12 minutes OR 2 frozen chicken breasts = 10 minutes (times will vary slightly depending on the size of your chicken breasts and if they’re boneless or not, mine were boneless).
  5. Do a 1 minute natural release, then a quick release.
  6. Drain liquid and enjoy, or better yet shred right in the pot and add sauce to make shredded chicken for sliders or atop rice.
