Notes:
- Instant Pot recipes require liquid to reach pressure. For most chicken recipes I use chicken broth or better than chicken base broth and water.
- All recipes are cooked under high pressure with a natural pressure release of 10 minutes unless otherwise directed (do not use a quick release or the chicken will get hard).
- does not differentiate between fresh
- Salt and pepper to taste and add additional spices, if desired.
