Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts frozen
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  • Combine the frozen chicken breasts and chicken broth inside the pot of your instant pot. 
  • Close the lid and set the pressure release valve to sealing. 
  • Press the pressure cook button and set the cooking time to 25 minutes. 
  • Let the chicken cook and allow the pressure cooker to do a natural release. 
  • Remove lid, take out chicken, and enjoy.

Notes

A cup of water can be substituted for the chicken broth if needed.
I prefer to add seasoning after the chicken cooks. Salt and pepper to taste is perfect.
You do not want to use a quick release for chicken as it will suck out the moisture.
