Instant Pot Chicken Breast--Tender, Juicy, and Perfectly Cooked 

I've struggled with maintaining a diet until I discovered your channel. Your recipes are very helpful in staying consistent. They're simple but taste amazing. Thank you!

I absolutely love your videos! They're so easy to follow and you really make someone feel more comfortable using their instant pot! Thank you for your videos! Big fan!! 👏🫶

Thank you for this video! You are an excellent teacher! All your instructions were clear, concise, and thorough. Excellent presentation of information! No superfluous yaking on and on 🥱as some presenters do and no annoying music. I look forward to viewing other videos you have on RU-vid and I just hit "subscribed". Will definitely try this chicken method. Thanks again. Good job!

Great recipe with minimum ingredients. Chicken breasts do come out juicy and soft. This is now my 3rd time making it and it comes up great every single time.

I made this recipe as my first one in an eight quart instant pot that a dear friend gave to us for house sitting while they were away. It turned out great and I’ve done some other things since then. I came back to rewatch and try it again. Of course I tweaked it a little bit but I’m following the instructions as intended. Boy it smells good. Thanks for the video.

Thank you so much for this technique and the cooking times for different size chicken breasts. It worked perfectly, and despite my apprehension, the chicken does not taste like pineapple. I allowed natural pressure release, and the chicken was tender and juicy. Just great!

Great information thank you

Hey ty for this and your channel. Stay at home dad looking for quick healthy ways to nourish my family. My wife has a lot of dietary issues. Your a gem for this thanks

I’ve been following this recipe for awhile it’s the best!

Thank you for the pineapple juice tip, it was awesome I love everything you do I cook everything you cook it is all delicious, thank you for the videos much love and respect

I'm trying it today. Thank you Kristen 🙏🙏😘😘🥰🥰

I love how expressive you are but also keep it short and simple. ❤❤❤

I’m so thankful for this channel! This is the fourth time I’m coming back to this video. 😊

Thanks so much for a great chicken recipe but more importantly a straight forward how to. I used your directions only I used a can of rotel original. The chicken turned out perfect. Thanks again👍

Ur delivery is spot, that teaching experience really shines thru. Subscribed.

My instant pot has been on a shelf for ages. I remember my first chicken attempt and it was as you described: tough and rubber like. Your recipe is magic. The chicket tenders took less than 10 minutes total (6 cooking) and were super tender, fall apart. On the spot I made a quick and easy chicken sandwich with some leftover pineapple tidbits and bib lettuce. Deeeee licious. Tonight I'll use the remainder for a strawberry chicken salad, almonds, spinach bib lettuce and almonds. Thank you so much for generating a new interest in using my instant pot. New subscriber!

Thank you so much for this video. Very simple to the point

As usual, another great, healthy recipe for us. Thanks. Pat

Great presentation! Clear, concise and entertaining!

Thanks Kristen, this was exactly what I needed for dinner tonight.

works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside ru-vid.comUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

I just subscribed to your channel. This was such a great video. I really appreciate how you explained the whole process and what works best. I never would have thought of pineapple juice. Pineapple (and peaches) is my favorite fruit so I will definitely be trying that recipe! Thanks so much!

So yummy! Pickle juice is delicious as well.

Very helpful! Thank you.

Thanks I can’t wait to try this method

I just subscribed to your channel and trying this for dinner tonight! I got my chicken breasts from meat market and set them for 7, hoping I'm lucky tonight. Thank you for posting, I love your precise directions.

Mine came out perfect! Thank you!

This is by far one of the best recipe videos I have ever seen on RU-vid.

Thanks for your video. Keep em coming

Thank you so much. This video is very useful to me

This lady is brilliant !!!

First time using my Instant Pot and I tried your recipe. Worked great! thanks

Thank you for sharing this recipe with me ☺️ hope your in good health God bless

Thank you. This helped!

Thank you so much for making my dusty pressure cooker into a new wonder for my weekly life .. appreciate your wisdom!

Thanks Kristen: Mi hai insegnato tanto ricette, e devo dire sei fenomeno e grande , anche sempre guardo i tuoi video perché mi piace molto le tue ricette e un like per te sempre perché ti meriti di più, un abbraccio forte da Manchester!

Thanks for another really useful video👍 Am intrigued about the pineapple juice, so will definitely give it a try. Also I have been using 15mins + No Release (10mins) for large frozen breasts. So it looks like I can try reducing that by a minute or two...

Thanks. Was looking for a good way to cook chicken for salads.

It looks so goood!

worked great, ty

Thank you so much!

Thank you. I love how you cover all the fails and explain the way through them; NOBODY ever does that.

Going to try this

The time is the most important. I used chicken broth , and lots of my favorite seasonings. ( I made chicken salad out of mine) It came out perfect. 😊

Finally someone useful!!! thanks

I was just given an older 8qt Lux and clueless as how to use it. Thanks for this step by step video!

Thanks a lot for this recipe! It's an amazing tip with the pineapple juice!!

This is so helpful thank you! Has anyone tried this with tenderloins? What time would you put?

WOW AWESOME

Great video 😊

great video. pineapple juice sounds like standard (but good) Hawaiian chicken tbh. love it

I use pickle juice for tenderizing and it’s amazing 💗😋

Nice!!

Hi thank you for the video , mine has an option for high or low temp adjust ….. which do you recommend?

Thank you

thanks!

Kristen, Wow! What a great idea. I tried it and it WORKS! Now let me return the favor to you and your viewere. I keep a bath towel in my kitchen. I put it over my Instapot before I release the steam. I mean I completelty COVER the pot. The only thing that gets steam burned in my kitchen is my towel! Please feel free to share. God bless you and keep you safe. JC

This is amazing!!! I couldn’t find garlic so I used just the chicken breasts, salt, and pineapple juice. Wow! Quick and DELICIOUS! I will be using this recipe all the time.

Wow only 4 things? ❤ Loved it

Pineapple juice??? Well, I am definitely going to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

derful Video! Just wondering what the average wait time for the pressure to fully release on a 6min high pressure cycle? I've been waiting 30 mins. Will the pressure valve go down when it is finished releasing??

Hi, I am new to the instapot, I have a question, After cooking time is done, do you turn it off, as in cancel it and let it release naturally or does it matter? I’m glad I found you! Thank you.

I was cooking my fresh chicken breasts according to frozen chicken breast cook times. Hopefully this changes everything for the better.

How long does it take for the natural release on pressure. Thank you

I can’t wait to try this! I deal with gallbladder issues

Hi, thanks for this recipe. Can you suggest a sauce to be made from the left over flavored pineapple juice?

Pineapple 🍍 juice!! Yum!

How would you cook using a trivet, so the fat drips out? How long and how much water?

How long should we let the natural release go for? 10 minutes, or more?

My instant pot does not have manual button, can you suggest another setting to use and time ? Thanks

Can this be cooked in power pressure cooker xl? The settings are different.

Can you add another sauce plus the pineapple juice? For example if I want to make chicken in a marinara sauce with potatoes…?

Great video! Can I use pineapple juice powder and water instead of actual juice?

I made chicken in my IP last night and it was perfect 👍🏻

can you use a trivet?

Is there a healthier alternative that you would suggest using instead of pineapple juice because of all the sugar in it im trying to stay away from alot of sugar

Looking forward to trying this. My only problem is that I can never find a package of chicken breast that are all the same size. Edit: I wonder if I could try cutting them up into equal size chunks?

How do I let the pressure release on its own?

You said frozen was okay, but they were stuck together. I did everything as you said, but chicken had raw areas so trying for another 5 minutes. Hope on of these days I will make something edible!

How long do you let it naturally release?

Can you cook carrots and potatoes in with chicken breast 0 if so how long to cook

Does it get softer if we cook it more? Like 45min? Or does it make it dryer

I have bone-in chicken breasts, does this change the time calculation? I have a one-pound bone-in breast to cook, I guess that qualifies as big (!) so will 8 minutes still work?

Is it possible to use the pineapple juice if I am planning on adding sun-dried tomatoes, olives and lemon zest?? Just seems like the combo may not work.

Thi, thanks for the recipe. Why can’t we use freshly juiced pineapple juice?

What is quick release? Is letting it release naturally still opening the pressure bulb?

Would this chicken be good mixed in homemade chicken soup ? I wasn’t sure with the pineapple?

On venting or sealing??

Natural release with warm button ON or OFF ????

What if you cant have pineapple because of allergies? Whats a substitute?

Is there any other alternatives for pineapple juice, please? Where I live pineapples are are too expensive.. Tyanks in advance for answer 🙏🙏

What can I use in place of the pineapple juice?? I need to make boiled chicken and boiled rice for my dog. Thanks

hi, what can I use to replace pineapple juice

Is there any substitute for the pineapple juice? The recipe looks great, but my wife is allergic to pineapple. Thank you for the recipe!

Another great recipe for cooking chicken breasts. If I use a scale I was told to cook the frozen breasts for one minute per ounce of chicken breasts. Is this correct? Furthermore, how would I cook these in teriaki sauce in the instant pot. Oh, yes, I have a three quart instant pot. Do you have any advice or tips and tricks? Thanks so much. May God bless you and your family.

Dumb question??? Does natural release mean waiting for the pin to drop or waiting a captain amount of time - on my 3rd attempt make tender breast meat - last version was 6 min + 10 min NR, then 1 min + 10 min NR- cooked but gummy( used pineapple juice- ) - your thoughts???

Thank you 🎉 I have fibromyalgia and need easy ways to cook.

What if I use frozen chicken breasts? I am new to the Instant Pot.

I am making a curry and I've left it on pressure for 90 minutes... chicken mush? I am sure it will taste great:-)

Would orange juice work?
