Equipment
- Instant Pot
- Frying pan
Ingredients
- 4 frozen boneless chicken breasts 8 oz or 200 g each
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon seasoning lemon-pepper; salt and pepper; or dry rub
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and place a trivet in the bottom. Place chicken breasts in the pressure cooker—season with lemon-pepper seasoning, my homemade Dry Rub For Chicken, or salt and pepper.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the lid to seal. Next, press manual pressure and set the timer for 15 minutes high-pressure.
- Once the timer beeps, signaling the cooking time's end, allow the pressure cooker to release for at least 10 minutes naturally.
- Add some olive oil to a frying pan and turn it on to medium heat. Transfer chicken breasts to a heated pan and sear for 2 minutes on each side, just until they start to turn brown. Add extra seasoning if you like.
- That's all there is to it! Enjoy!
Notes
Nutritional information is approximate and is meant as a guideline only.
Storage:
- Fridge: Cooked chicken will last in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
- Freezer: Cooked chicken will last in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 4 months. I like to wrap the chicken with plastic wrap before placing the chicken in a container in the freezer.
