Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken. Place the chicken in an even layer in the Instant Pot insert. Pour in 1 cup of water (1.5 cups for the 8-quart). Close the lid, set the vent to sealing and pressure cook on High for 8 minutes if you have 8-ounce breasts (see note 1 for how to adjust cook time for the size of your chicken breasts). Note that your Instant Pot may have a "Manual" button rather than a "Pressure Cook" button, depending on the model. Allow for a 10 minute Natural Pressure Release, then quick release the remaining pressure.

  2. Prep the veggies. While the chicken is pressure cooking, slice the bell pepper, celery, green onion and dill, and gather the other ingredients.

Chef's Notes


Adjust the cook time to match the size of your largest individual chicken breast: 1 minute per ounce of weight. For example, pressure cook 9-ounce breasts for 9 minutes, 10-ounce for 10 minutes etc. 
Inactive time indicates the time it takes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure and release pressure.
