Easy Instant Pot Chicken Breasts

Cook chicken breasts in the Instant Pot to enjoy in sandwiches or for supper, right now or later on. For this recipe, I made an easy aioli sauce to brush on the chicken before sautéing, then I pressure cooked the chicken. This adds flavor and somehow keeps the chicken extra moist. To make the sauce, stir together a cup of mayonnaise, juice of one lemon, two crushed garlic cloves and some fresh dill. Set half aside in a separate bowl to use later. Brush the remaining sauce on all sides of the chicken breasts. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in your Instant Pot using the SAUTE function. Add the chicken breasts and brown them for about three minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and turn off the Instant Pot. Add a trivet to the pot and 1 cup of chicken broth or water. Put the chicken back in the pot onto the trivet, put the lid on with the sealing ring in place, and set valve to SEALING. Set pot to pressure cook on high (or manual) for 10 minutes. When cooking is complete, use a quick release. Use a meat thermometer to make sure chicken is thoroughly cooked (at least 165 degrees F). Drizzle with some of your reserved aoili sauce (from your clean bowl). Enjoy! This is awesome with my Instant Pot risotto, so be sure to check out that video too!

Honestly, I've found this more helpful than the other videos I've seen today.
Straight to the point, no long back story, no extra bs.
Thank you.

Hello I came across the video and you look like the mother of Janelle from teen Mom ..but great recipe

[@Tessknadler]

Yes, I have heard that, and I agree!

[@Suz_408]

You should never do a quick release for any meat. Makes it tough and dry.

[@jflory0207]

If you should not do a quick release then how long of a natural pressure release? 1min or 265min?

Once you touched the chicken with the basting brush and put it back in the sauce the sauce was contaminated ….just saying! Nice recipe!

[@Tessknadler]

Yep. Which is why I saved extra sauce in a separate dish beforehand to use later. That’s what I drizzled on the chicken at the end. I of course threw the “contaminated”aioli sauce away after I’d brushed some on the uncooked chicken.
