How to Make the Perfect Instant Pot Chicken Recipe - Quick, Healthy & Ready in 18 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon olive or avocado oil
• 3 chicken breasts
• pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
• 1 cup quality stock or broth

Instructions:

1. Heat the bottom of the instant pot using saut mode. Once it has heated up, add the oil and seasonings before placing the chicken into the oil in a single layer.
2. Brown each side for 1-2 minutes to create a rich flavor and then cancel the saut mode.
3. Pour in the stock or broth and deglaze the bottom of the pan. Slide the chicken over to scape up any little browned bits on the pot as this is flavor you want. Return the chicken to a single layer.
4. Twist on the locking lid and ensure the steam valve is set to sealing. Then, select the manual setting to cook for 4 minutes. Be sure to adjust your cooking time depending on the size and thickness of your breasts.
5. When the chicken has finished cooking, allow it to natural pressure release for 10 minutes. When the time is up, carefully release any remaining pressure and remove the lid.
6. Remove your chicken from the instant pot and shred the chicken using forks or a hand mixer. The leftover liquid from cooking can be saved for future recipes if used within 3-4 days. Enjoy!
