Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 3 pounds chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Combine seasonings in a bowl, then season both sides of each chicken breast to taste.
- Set the Instant Pot to 'saute' (you can also do this on the stovetop, then brown the chicken breasts on each side for 1-2 minutes. This step is optional but seals in flavor.
- Place trivet inside the Instant Pot.
- Pour chicken broth into the pot (directly over the chicken).
- Seal cooker and set to HIGH pressure for 8 minutes. SEE NOTE
- When it’s done, release the pressure valve and wait for pressure to release, then let the chicken rest another 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store Instant Pot Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.

- I browned the breasts to give the chicken extra flavor and texture. Browning is optional.
- The chicken was cooked nicely at 8 minutes. However, if you're planning to shred, I prefer a 12 minute cook time to make it more tender and more shreddable.
- If using frozen chicken breasts, ensure that they are fully defrosted before seasoning and cooking.
- Mix up your seasonings! I used a simple seasoning blend, but you can use your favorite herbs and spices.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
