Instant Pot Chicken Breasts

More Instant Pot!  I wanted to see if the instant pot would make chicken breasts nice and tender.  I found a recipe here for cooking time guidelines.  It took about 25 minutes start to finish.  I made it with the chicken broth, but I am interested to try pineapple juice next time.  The kids did not like it of course, even though it was basically plain chicken.


Instant Pot Chicken Breasts

1 bag chicken breasts
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Optional for gravy:
2 T cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water

Pour chicken broth into instant pot, layer chicken breasts.  Season with salt, italian seasoning, and garlic powder.  Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes thawed, 10-12 minutes frozen.  Let it release naturally for 5 minutes, then do a quick release.  In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water, then stir into the chicken broth.  Cook on saute for a few minutes until the broth thickens into gravy.  I took the chicken out and cut it into 1" pieces, then returned to the pot for easy serving to kids.
