Instant Pot Frozen Chicken Breast
Ingredients:
3/4 cup chicken stock, Kitchen Basic is the brand I used
2 tablespoons lime juice, squeezed fresh from 1 lime
4 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1.5-2 pounds
1 tablespoon seasoning blend
2 Tablespoons salted butter, sliced into 4 pieces
Garnish:
fresh chopped cilantro or flat leaf parsley
lime wedges
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Place chicken stock and lime juice in the instant pot.
Season frozen chicken breasts with seasoning on both sides. Place chicken breasts in a single layer, in the instant pot with the chicken stock mixture. Top each chicken breast with a slice of butter.
Cover the Instant Pot with the lid and lock into place. (Make sure the vent is set to “sealing”) Set to POULTRY or MANUAL for 10-15 minutes (depending on size of breasts). Natural release for at least 5 minutes. Then carefully, using a hot pad, quick release any remaining pressure before opening.
After chicken is cooked, remove chicken from the Instant Pot and place on a plate to rest for 5 minutes. Slice chicken and transfer to a serving plate. Top with freshly chopped cilantro or flat leaf parsley and serve with lime wedges. Add salt and pepper to taste.
