Split chicken breasts made in the Instant Pot are so juicy and tender. They are made even more perfect by quickly crisping the skin up in the broiler.

Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in , about 2 pounds total
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning , or more to taste
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth

    Place a trivet in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Pour in chicken broth and add chicken breasts. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. 3

    Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  4. 4
