Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary (or thyme)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather chicken breasts, potatoes, broth, herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Season the Chicken: Rub olive oil over chicken breasts and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sauté Time: Set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode. Heat a splash of olive oil (about 1 tbsp) and add seasoned chicken breasts. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes per side until slightly browned.
- Add the Potatoes: Remove the chicken from the pot. Add potato chunks along with rosemary and pour in the chicken broth.
- Pressure Cook Like a Pro: Return browned chicken on top of the potatoes. Seal the lid and set to 'Pressure Cook' for about 10 minutes on high pressure.
- Serve It Up: After cooking, allow natural release for about 5 minutes before quick-releasing any remaining pressure. Serve with some broth drizzled over each portion.
