Notes
- increase the time under pressure to 10 mins.
- Thicker chicken breasts will require you to increase the seasonings to ensure they're fully coated.
- The total cook time does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to get to pressure and the time for the natural pressure release. Plan for additional time.
- To cook from a frozen chicken breast, increase the time under pressure to 10 mins.
- For best results, do a natural release. If you want to do a quick release, increase the time under pressure to 10 mins.
- Weight Watchers Points - If you replace the 1 tbsp olive oil used for frying with a calorie-controlled cooking spray, there are 0 Blue Plan SmartPoints per serving.
