Preparation

Step 1

Instructions:

Place 1/2-1 cup of water, broth, sauce, or a mixture of both into the pot per 2 lbs./ 1kg (or around four chicken breasts) of chicken.
Place the chicken directly into the pot – no need for a trivet – and set the pot to HIGH for 12 minutes.
Follow up with either Natural Pressure Release (NPR) or Quick Release (QR).
Other notes:

For bone-in chicken breasts or particularly thick chicken breasts, consider increasing cooking time to around 15 minutes.
Chicken will easily shred after cooking for delicious and easy meals. Using more liquid will help it to shred after cooking directly in the pot. Check out our shredded chicken recipes ideas here.
Chicken breast is particularly good to cook in sauce – especially compared to thighs or whole chicken with the skin on. You won’t have much fat to drain and it’s bulky, helping to soak up all that flavour and really utilise the liquid (while chicken thighs shrink). Use your favourite BBQ sauce, salsa, or mole to cook with for awesome meals throughout the week.
