Ingredients
  

  • 3 whole Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 180 ML Chicken Stock divided up.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided up.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Garlic
  • 1 dash Black Pepper
  • 1 dash Salt

Method
 

  1. Grab a small bowl and mix together the seasonings, including the Italian seasoning. Mix in the garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, ginger, and coriander.
  2. In the bowl, add in two tablespoons of chicken stock and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Put the chicken breasts in the bowl and coat the chicken with the seasonings, which should look like a paste.
  4. Using the Instant Pot, go to the "Saute" setting and then add in the oil. Once hot, add in the chicken and brown on both sides. This should take 2 minutes per side.
  5. Take the chicken out of the Instant Pot and put on a plate for now.
  6. Put the rest of the chicken stock into the Instant Pot. Put the trivet into the Intant Pot, and then add the chicken on top of the trivet.
  7. Cover with the lid and seal the valve. Press "Manual" and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  8. Allow for a natural release of pressure once the timer is done. Wait around 15 minutes for the natural pressure release before you open the lid and remove the chicken.
