Ingredients
- 2 pounds frozen skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth (or water)
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pour the chicken broth into the instant pot.
- Place the frozen chicken breasts on top of the broth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Close the lid, select seal, and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. The cook time depends on how thick your chicken breasts are. I try to select thinner cut breasts when I cook them in the instant pot to ensure they cook evenly. You may need to cook the chicken longer if you use thicker breasts.
- Once the steam is naturally released, open the lid and remove the chicken from the instant pot. Season with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you desire.
- Slice the chicken and enjoy, or use as needed in other recipes.
