This is clearly the best straight forward chicken breast instant pot video on KZfaq hands down! Well done!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I love the way you explain each step but without overdoing it. I'm still learning how to use my Instant Pot so your instructions are very much appreciated. Also love your bubbly personality. Thanks! 😊

Thank you... The booklet of recipes with this pot I have not explained as well as you can. Love the simpleness you allow us to be creative.

Great to hear you with NO music to distract! Thank you.

I didn’t know what was wrong with my chicken cooking skills. I was about to give up n never cook chicken again. I couldn’t believe 3 minutes would work but it was perfect. Your directions were perfect and exactly what I was looking 4. Thanks so much 4 GREAT video. MaryAnna

Thank you Lana!! I'm a new Instant pot owner as of today , and my first mission will be to cook up 3 chicken breasts. Your video helped a bunch!

on behalf of my husband I’m saying thank you so much for a clear and easy to follow video ... he was tearing his hair out but sorted now

What a great video, I agree with another comment below, this the best video for chicken breast in the instant pot. Thorough, but concise and so clear. Thank you! I have subscribed.

I am actually making this right now in October 2022. Sadly, I forgot to dump my oil out after searing my chicken breast. But that's okay. I've done that before and it will be okay. Maybe more flavorful chicken. I love this recipe and have made it often. I will be looking for other Instant Pot recipes from you. Thanks!!

Thank you. Your presentation was very easy to follow and my chicken turned out great!

Great video! So informative and clear. Can't wait until your next one.

Thank you, it's absolutely perfect!

I am so grateful for this video. You explained everything so well. I’ve had my IP for over a year and I barely used it Bc at the beginning I ruined so much food that I lost all confidence in it. But now I’m excited to get cooking in it again

THANK YOU. I followed your instructions and got great results. My Instant pot was finished releasing pressure after only four minutes but I left it alone until 20 minutes and the chicken is delicious. I did check the temp and it was good. My pot is 8 years old so naturally I was a little worried but it was fine.

Wow, I just cooked chicken breast using your recipe and it came out wonderful. Thank you

You’re so fun! Love you’re energy!

You are very thorough in explaining and j greatly appreciate it!!!! Great content!!! Thank you!

Wow. You would make a great school teacher as you explain things so very well. Thank you so much. The best video on the subject hands down!

This is so wholesome! Love the video! Thank you!

I made this exactly like you said and it was perfect. The thermometer hit 165 too. Been trying to cut down in grilled/bbq meats, this method was a nice and new way to eat breast chicken, thank you maestra!

You are adorable. I can tell you love what you do. You are super through in your explanations and I appreciate all the hard work. Thank you!

Great video! Thanks I'm making this tonight.

Today I learned how to instant pot a chicken breast! Thank you Lana!!! 🚀

Just making this dish as I watch your video! Thank you

This looks like a good recipe. Will definitely give this method a try. I hate stringy chicken and normally go for smaller pieces trying to avoid that. 👍

you are so informative,

You are a great teacher 👍

Thank you for explaing why and how to do things. you just gained a new subscriber

Thank you for sharing. This was so good and easy. New sub now😊

Thank YOUUU. We out here COOKIN

Glad I found ya!! You make instapot life easy!!! Subscribing!!

very clear instruction

Im gonna ‘go ahead’ and try this recipe - thanks! 😂

Good Morning Lana! Met your mom this morning at ABQ Balloon Fiesta, She is so proud of you and your Channel. Very nice to meet her (Sherry? Sp). Told her about my channel, she told me about your channel... yadayadayada. Subscribed and liked this video. FYI. Bruce

I saw a white lady tell me I had to use pineapple juice…that’s how I ended up here 😅

Thanks a bunch. 💪🏾

Hi everybody! I am new to the Instant Pot and I have just followed this tutorial but have some questions. In the video, Lana mentions that she will give us her measurements in the description below. I am not able to find any description. I found myself having to guess as my instant pot does not have a manual button to set the time, and I have to click on my Saute button but it doesn't ever say "hot". I am hoping that my chicken breast comes out tasty as I was guessing along the way!! Thanks for the great video!! Looking forward to learning more about my instant pot and becoming more confident in using it on a daily basis.

Well done video! Subscribing!

Thank you!!!!!

Girl I know this video is about 2 years old and that's how long my instapot has been sitting on the shelf. Thank you.. let's see how it taste..

When I pressure cook for 3 min, is it on low medium or high?

Thanks for the great video Lana. In Australia, the chicken breasts are on average 250 grams to 300 grams plus each (1 pound is roughly 450mg). Therefore should i adjust my cooking time to 2 mins?if you cut the chicken breast in half so it was 150g or so, would you cook it for 1 minute or is just too small to cook in the pressure cooker without turning it into cardboard?

Hi Lana, thank you for such a detailed, yet quick video. Learned a lot without getting bored. Just one question, if I was to add two or three chicken breast, how would I adjust the cooking time?

My instant pot didn’t have the setting Manuel so I used pressure cook so I hope it works!!!

I LIVE on chicken breasts...that was super helpful Lana... "Q" when you were bringing the water to a boil(with half bouillon cube_ before putting chicken back in...what setting was this on? I'm thinking sear/saute ? Thanks..I so glad I got to see this as basis for all my chicken cooking. And...I'm so glad you showed us the meat thermometer temp....perfect temp! :)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! In these days of lockdown, I've been doing a lot of cooking. Last night I did an Asian steamed chicken breast (Costco) in a wooden steamer in the IP. The flavor was amazing. The breast, well, not so amazing. I've heard 10 minutes, found a great KZfaq vid that used bone in chicken thighs for 15 minutes. I compromised at 12 minutes with 5 natural release afterwards. The breast meat was firm, not tough, a bit stringy, but extremely dry. I'll go for your 4 minutes plus 15 NR next round. Oh, for the record, I took a full quart of Costco's chicken stock, added about 2 inches of coarse cut fresh ginger, 2 scallions, two battered pieces of lemon grass and simmered, stove top for about 20 minutes. I then used about a cup and a half of the chicken stock as my Instant Pot steaming liquid. When the chicken in the steamer was (over)done, I then used the steaming liquid to cook my rice. The rice stole the show, I'm hoping your suggestions for next time will steal the chicken. Again, thanks!

What is that object inside the pot? I thought the Instant pot comes with a trivet? Anyway, it's an excellent video.

We have the Goya-brand chicken bouillon, which is just a powder in a packet. What is the conversion of a "cube of chicken bouillon" to the powder packet? Thanks.

I still have a problem when I cook,deciding if i want to use my instant pot or the oven...Sometimes in the oven tastes great!!

Looks delicious! A couple of questions I have. 1)Do you leave the Instant Pot on “keep warm” while the pressure is naturally releasing? 2)Did you pressure cook on low/med/hi? I’m assuming high.

❤

Mine only says less normal and more won’t go to high so how many minutes do I use

Glad you rinse your chicken too. They always say not to because of salmonella. Meh, I don’t want slime all over my chicken!

Every time she says, "we're gonna go ahead" everybody has to drink a shot!

Was there a trivet in there or was it on the bottom ?

what would happen if you turn on poultry mode to cook it directly without SAUTEING it first?

can i do this exact way but with frozen chicken breasts?

Tu eres boricua 😊✌️🇵🇷

Lana, my wife is now disabled and I am learning how to cook. We haves large Pressure Cooker Xl. Controls/settings are different than on the instant pot. We can not buy another pot. Do you know how to cook chicken breasts using this type of cooker? Gracias por tu ayuda a un Cubano viejo. Pepe.

What size is you Instant Pot?

If I do two pounds, do I set it for six minutes?

I see you are using one of those grocery store Arnold Schwartzenager chicken breast. :)

I'm still struggling with this. I followed your recipe exactly once and it came out fine, then the next time it didn't. I've been getting different advice in a instant pot facebook group I'm in. One person says only follow a tried and true recipe (but doesn't say if the time changes per the size), another person says to follow the chart to see what time to set for the size of the chicken breast. Other video tutorials have different times. No matter what I do they come out rubbery/chewy. I just want my chicken for my salads for the week to be as good as it was that first time and I have no idea what I am messing up. Do I set the timer to the same time you are using here regardless of the size of the chicken breast? Mine are not the huge ones, they are all somewhere between 3 and 6 oz.

I did not see any links not even 1

How does the recipe change if I use frozen chicken?

The Instant Pot says 6-8 minutes but it doesn't say how much liquid to use. Does this apply to chicken that is to be added to a soup?

hola. love your logs., may i ask have you done the breast in the deep fryer? if if you done it let me know so i can get to seee it,.. gracias have a fantastic day..

Hi Lana, if making 4 breasts how long should I cook?

The little tray wasn't put in?

Where is the seasonings at?

I've tried this and the George Foreman grill is way better in my opinion as I like my chicken to look slightly crispy and brown. This chicken breast looks like slippery white unseasoned meat. Maybe it tastes good but it does not look good to me. all the boiling or pressurized water removes the Browning that was done previously. The natural chicken flavor gets locked in but the spices come off resulting in the chicken tasting boiled

Now I’m Wondering why I bought an instapot. How is this easier than cooking chicken in my cast iron skillet? Same prep, same time, and no cleanup. I never have to wash my cart iron skillets

Looks delicious 🤤 and chicken breast came out so juicy 😋 thanks 👍

Your links are blocked because of expired certificates. Wanted to check timing for breasts less than one pound. How much is timing reduced from 3 minutes for smaller breasts.

You placed the chicken inside the liquid when others say to put it on top of the rack. Now I'm confused.

Good video but you lost me when you said to press the manual button… Mine doesn’t have one

Great video. What about mentioning multiple chicken breasts? Do you use a rack or something? Stacking the chicken? Separating the chicken? UPDATE: I just read your website and it makes mention of what my inquiries are. Thank you for that. For reference, I prefer to just watch the video instead of needing to read while following along in the kitchen. Looking forward to more videos. Do Ropa Vieja next!

Why the 3 min manual timer? Why not 20 min if we know that's what it'll take to be cooked

I have no idea how to use my instant pot at all. Anyways I could contact you on Facebook or somewhere to get a little class?

I don't know why you don't have your own tv show or something. You are excellent with instructions . Ok. I made the chicken breast. Since mine was smaller than yours I cooked for 2 minutes with natural pressure release. Grrrr..it's tough. Not stringy or rubbery. Tough. I'm SOOO disappointed. I have never ever been able to cook chicken breasts. Or beef. What the heck am I doing wrong. 6 quart Instant Pot

I think your timing is pretty close. My biggest fear is overcooking the chicken breast and considering the pressure build up time and the natural release time, at 3 minutes that chicken has really cooked for a long time.

I clicked on the link but could not find altered time for more 5han 2 lbs of chicken breast

The cubes seem like a pain in the ass. VS broth

Browning the breast in a skillet for a couple of minutes, and then adding to the Instant Pot for 15 minutes would produce a tastier chicken.

Did you say “Insta-Pot”? Isn’t it an Instant Pot?

good lord where is the seasoning

Washing chicken is not recommended because it increases your chances for cross contamination.

The chapters are useless, you spend so much time talking about the damn buttons when all I need to know is how long to cook it for and what pressure level to use. Why would the sauté part be the main part of this tutorial?

I wish I had watched this video first before I made my breast, using just water....I watched another video😥

Never rinse chicken in the sink!!!!

Oeh.... please don't place your cooked chicken on the same board where you had it raw!

Why are you screaming?
