Instructions
- Place chicken in a large Ziploc bag.
- Add Italian salad dressing and garlic. Seal plastic bag. Move chicken around in the marinade to get an even coating, then place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
- Combine chicken seasoning, salt and pepper in a medium-size bowl.
- Drain marinade from chicken and discard. Add chicken breasts to bowl of seasoning. Coat the chicken breasts with the seasoning.
- Set Instant Pot to "sauté" and spray with cooking spray. When the Instant Pot becomes hot, place each chicken breast on the bottom of the pot and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove chicken from Instant Pot and pour chicken broth in the bottom of the pot to deglaze, scraping any browned bits off the bottom if needed. Cancel the saute function.
- Place trivet in the bottom of the pot over the broth. Place the lid on the instant pot. Switch the valve to "sealing". Set instant pot to "Manual" and set to high pressure for 6 minutes (if cooking larger chicken breasts you may want to increase this time by 2-3 minutes).
- After it is finished cooking allow to natural release for 5 minutes before flipping the quick release to release the remaining pressure.
- Allow chicken to rest 3-4 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Notes
- Instant Pot Note: We use a 6-quart Instant Pot brand pressure cooker that we bought in 2016. Different or newer versions may be more sensitive to the "BURN" notice. If you are concerned about the burn notice, please refer to the Instant Pot webpage about Overheat Protection.
- If you're using larger chicken breasts, add 2 to 3 minutes to the cooking time, and always be sure to check the internal temperature and make sure it's at least 165 degrees.

- Cooked chicken breasts can stay nice and fresh in the refrigerator for up to five days. You can also freeze cooked chicken breasts to be used later. They'll stay in the freezer for about two months.
