Ingredients
  • Cooking Tips for Instant Pot Chicken Breast
  • 4 cups (1L) of Water is not a typo!
  • For this recipe, we’re using the deep poaching method in Instant Pot to cook the chicken breasts. So it’s critical to ensure all your chicken breasts are at least 95% submerged in the salted water.
  • What is Deep Poaching Method?
  • The Deep Poaching Method involves cooking food submerged in liquid at a relatively low temperature.
  • This method allows the proteins to denature without pulling out too much moisture out of the food. That’s why poached food comes out so moist and tender!
  • Poaching is most commonly used for cooking delicate or fragile food that might easily fall apart or dry out using other cooking methods, such as eggs, fish, or poultry.
  • Pressure Cook at High Pressure 0 Minute
  • Yes! You can “pressure cook” at 0 (zero) minute! How can that be?!
  • We’re setting the pressure cooking time to 0 (zero) minute because we’re using the heat generated during the “building pressure” stage AND the “depressurizing” stage (i.e. when Instant Pot is natural releasing) to cook the whole chicken.
  • Ensure to measure your chicken’s internal temperature with a Food Thermometer, and the chicken breast’s internal thickest part reaches at least 165°F (74°C) after resting.
