Forget to take the frozen chicken out of the freezer? Don't worry! It cooks in the Instant Pot in no time!

Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts frozen, about 1 inch thick
- 1 cup chicken broth or water
- Seasonings to taste (I used Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute)
Instructions
- Pour chicken broth into the instant pot. Place the trivet insert over the broth. Add the chicken in a single layer on top of the trivet. Season the chicken to add flavor.
- Place the lid on the instant pot. Set the valve to sealing and cook the chicken on Manual on the high pressure setting for 12 minutes. When the timer goes off, let the pressure naturally release for about 20 minutes, or until the pin drops.
- Take the lid off and shred or slice chicken to serve.
Notes
- You will need a trivet for this method.
- Most instant pots come with a trivet, but I lost mine. I bought a silicon trivet at Target.
- If you don't use the trivet and you put the chicken directly into the broth or water, it will essentially boil the chicken instead of steaming it and the texture will be more rubbery.
