- I used frozen chicken breasts for this recipe, but you can use fresh. Just reduce the chicken cooking time to 8 minutes. See my post for Instant Pot chicken breast for my Ultimate guide on cooking chicken breast in the Instant Pot.
- Setting the cooking time to zero - this is done by hitting the manual or pressure cook button and then pressing the minus button until it has zero on the screen.
