"Get perfect chicken in no time with a pressure cooker - quick, easy, and versatile for any seasoning style."
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt (use less if chicken is brined or otherwise pre-seasoned)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 cloves garlic
Instructions:
  • Place the chicken in an even layer at the bottom of the Instant Pot. Pour water over the chicken, sprinkle with salt, and add bay leaves and garlic.
  • Pressure cook the chicken: Seal the lid and set the pressure regulator to “Sealing.” Choose the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” setting and adjust the time to 10 minutes on high pressure. The pressure cooker will take about 10 minutes to reach full pressure before cooking begins.
  • Perform a quick pressure release by turning the pressure release knob from "Sealing" to "Venting" as soon as the timer goes off. Wait a minute or two for the pressure to release completely. Open the pot and use a digital thermometer to check the thickest part of a piece of chicken—it should be at least 165oF. If needed, cover the pot with the lid, close the vent, and cook for an additional minute or two.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a dish using tongs and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice, shred, or cube the chicken as desired or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Strain the cooking liquid if desired and store in a lidded container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
