ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
steps
- 1.
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, and paprika. Ensure they are evenly coated.
- 2.
Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 3.
In the same pot, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- 4.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- 5.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
- 6.
Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Allow for a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
- 7.
Carefully remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes. Before serving, drizzle with the remaining cooking liquid and garnish with fresh parsley.
