Instructions

Combine the seasonings in a bowl and season both sides of each chicken tender to taste.
Set the Instant Pot to sauté (you can also do this step stovetop) and brown the chicken tenders on each side for 1-2 minutes. This step is optional but seals in moisture and adds flavor.
Place trivet inside the Instant Pot, then layer in the chicken tenders.
Pour chicken broth into the pot, directly over the chicken.
Put on the lid, seal the cooker, and set to cook on HIGH pressure for 6 minutes.
When the cooking time is done, release the pressure valve and wait for pressure to release, then let the chicken rest another 5 minutes.
Serve with your favorite sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store Instant Pot chicken tenders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.
Store Instant Pot chicken tenders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.
Searing/browning the chicken first is completely optional, but it helps seal in moisture, and helps create a crispier texture.
Use a trivet to cook the tenders. If you place them straight into the pot, the bottoms will burn.
