Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle chicken breasts on both side with sea salt and pepper

  2. Hit SAUTE on Instant Pot, and when it reads Hot, add the olive oil, and brown the chicken on both sides for about 2 minutes per side. You may have to do this in batches of 2, and keep the chicken on a plate covered with foil until done with this step

  3. Add the chicken broth to the pot, and stir with wooden spoon or spatula to deglaze and remove any browned bits from the bottom of pot

  4. Hit CANCEL, then stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard

  5. Place chicken breasts back in pot, and sprinkle with onions and garlic powder

  6. Place lid on pot, turn vent to Sealing position, and hit PRESSURE COOK for 6 minutes

  7. Pot will take a few minutes to reach pressure then begin counting down and cook. After pot beeps, allow a 10 minute natural release, then quick release remaining pressure, if any -- Pot may release pressure on it's own before 10 minutes is up

Chef's Notes

Recipe was made in 6 quart Instant Pot electric pressure cooker. For an 8 quart, increase liquid to  1 1/2 cups broth.
Can use chopped onions in place of the dried onions and you can decrease the amount of onions for a milder flavor.
