∗Tips for Perfect Instant Pot Chicken ∗
- Season Well. Chicken is incredibly bland on its own and benefits from being heavily seasoned. Whether simply using salt and pepper, or a seasoning blend just as taco seasoning or seasoned salt, don't overlook seasoning the chicken before pressure cooking.
- Choose Your Liquid Wisely. Every Instant Pot recipe needs to include a thin liquid of some sort in order for pressure to be reached. The liquid you select to pressure cook chicken will also help to flavor the chicken. I recommend using chicken stock, beer, wine, or juice, to add additional flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcook! Chicken is a lean cut of meat that cooks incredibly fast in the Instant Pot. While the suggested cooking time may seem on the low end, keep in mind that this time accounts for the time it takes for the Instant Pot to come pressure and for the pressure to release. Cooking longer may result in overcooked, dried-out chicken.
- Allow Pressure to Release Naturally. NEVER do a quick release of pressure after cooking poultry of any kind in the pressure cooker, as this will cause the meat to seize up and dry out. Depending on the recipe, it is best to allow 5-10 minutes of natural pressure release, which will help to keep the chicken juicy and tender.
