  • 3 pounds chicken breasts (fresh or frozen) (see notes on timing)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice or chicken broth (use 1.5 cups if using an 8 quart instant pot)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt (1 teaspoon if using chicken broth)

Instruction

  • Place chicken breast(s) into the inner pan of the Instant Pot. Sprinkle the chicken with salt. Pour the pineapple juice over the chicken breast and add the minced garlic. (Use 1 cup of liquid for a 3 or 6-quart Instant Pot and 1.5 cups of liquid for an 8-quart Instant Pot.)
  • Close the lid and turn the vent to the closed (sealed) position.
  • Set Cook Time BASED on Size of the Largest Chicken Breast (The cook time is for what each chicken breast weighs--not what the TOTAL weight is)Small Chicken Breast (6-ounce chicken breasts) set time for 6 minutes on high pressure for fresh/ 10 minutes on high pressure for frozenMedium Chicken Breast (8-ounce chicken breasts) set time for 7 minutes on high pressure for fresh/11 minutes on high pressure for frozenLarge Chicken Breast (10-ounce chicken breasts) set time for 8 minutes on high pressure for fresh/12 minutes on high pressure for frozen
  • Once the cooking time has elapsed, allow the pressure to release naturally on its own for at least 10 minutes. Then do a quick release of pressure if needed.
  • Remove the chicken from the liquid and rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve as desired.
