Instant Pot

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons avocado oil
16 oz containers of baby bella mushrooms washed and sliced
4 cloves garlic minced
½ cup chicken broth

Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Cut the mushrooms up and set aside.
Next, turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode and add the avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot add the chicken breast. Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Remove chicken from the Instant Pot and set aside.
Add the mushrooms and garlic to the Instant Pot. Cook until mushrooms are tender and garlic is fragrant (1-2 minutes).
Turn off the sauté mode and add the chicken broth. Stir and scrap the bottom of the Instant Pot to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
Add back in the chicken.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the knob is set to seal. Hit “Manual” then select high pressure and set the timer to 8 minutes.
Perform a 5-minute natural pressure release and then carefully remove the rest of the pressure.
Carefully remove the lid. Let the chicken sit for at least five minutes before cutting.
