Instant Pot Chicken Breast: Effortless & Delicious!
Effortlessly prepare tender and delicious boneless, skinless chicken breasts in your Instant Pot. This quick and healthy recipe is perfect for low-carb meals and busy weeknights.
Equipment
- Electric Pressure Cooker
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be fresh or frozen
- 1 cup water or chicken stock
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients—chicken breasts, water or stock, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper—directly into your electric pressure cooker pot.
- Secure the lid firmly and turn the valve to the "sealing" position. Set the pressure cooker to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes if using frozen chicken. For fresh chicken, cook on high pressure for 6-7 minutes (adjust slightly for very large or small pieces).
- Once cooking is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. After this natural release, carefully quick-release any remaining pressure until the float valve drops.
- Gently remove the lid. Take the wonderfully tender chicken out of the pot and easily shred it using two forks, or slice it as desired. Add a little of the cooking liquid back in to keep the chicken incredibly moist and flavorful.
