This Chicken Recipe will surely suit you as well, guys! Give it a quick read and try this dish at your earliest. Here is how to make Chicken Breast in Instant pot.

Recently, I have taken a great level of liking for Instant Pot. Why? Because, this cutesy, one touch pot has allowed me to get creative, save my time yet create scrumptious, perfectly cooked meals in one go that too under 30 minutes, unlike when I use a slow cooker.

Either by quick release or other functions, I have tried great recipes like Creamy Instant Pot Oatmeal, Instant Pot Brown Rice, Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes and this week, I thought of trying one of my chicken breast recipes.

I have tried cooking the chicken with Homemade Peri Peri Sauce and have even made Chili Mango BBQ Chicken but at times you crave for something simple like cooking chicken breast or frozen chicken breast with salt and pepper or just basic herbs. That’s about it. Nothing comes to your rescue better than Instant Pot at that moment.

How to make Instant Pot Frozen Chicken Breast?

Frozen Chicken Breast in Instant Pot requires minimum preparation. Add all the ingredients mentioned in my recipe notes in the Instant Pot. Pressure cook it on timer for 10 minutes.

Let the steam build up. Then, once the timer ends, let the steam release and then open the lid. There you go, Chicken Breast made in Instant Pot is all prepped to be served.

Better than cooked on high, Instant Pot lets you brown the chicken to the T and the resulting chicken is juicy and moist. All you need to do is got your tongs, wait for all the steam to release and drool at the very sight of those tender, lip-smacking and freshly cooked chicken breasts!

You may also shred it or toss with Pasta or Rice and devour it all the more. For starters, here’s my recipe to get you going to the kitchen:

How long to cook Frozen Chicken Breasts in Instant Pot?

You need to set a timer of 10 minutes in your IP to cook boneless frozen chicken breast. The IP will take approximately 10 minutes to build up the steam before it starts. So basically you can look at 20-25 minutes from start to end.

If cooking fresh chicken breast, you can reduce the pressure cooking time to 8 minutes. The steam building time will remain the same.
