The secret to juicy Instant Pot chicken breastThe secret to juicy Instant Pot chicken breasts is…there is no secret! Well, there is a secret: don’t over cook them, because if you over cook your chicken breast, you’ll end up with dry chicken. I like to err on the shorter side of the time range I gave, because the chicken will continue to cook as the pressure is naturally released. It will come up in temp another couple of degrees while it’s resting too. A thermometer is the best way of ensuring juicy chicken. The best kind of thermometer is a thermocouple style, but you don’t have to spring for the fancy expensive ones: this one is nice and inexpensive and still super fast. The other tip I have is to let the breasts rest a bit, outside of the Instant Pot. Letting them rest for 2 minutes will let the juices settle, keeping the breasts juicy, instead of spilling out on to the plate. What to serve with with this sweet-n-spicy chicken
