Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 large Onion chopped
- 2 medium Carrots sliced
- 2 sticks Celery sticks
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1 – Prep the Ingredients
- Gather all your ingredients.
- Chop the onions, mince the garlic, slice the carrots, and dice the celery.
- Keep all your prepped ingredients close by; this will make the cooking process smoother and faster.
Step 2 – Sauté the Vegetables
- Set your Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode.
- Add a splash of oil, the chopped onions, and minced garlic.
- Sauté until the onions become translucent.
- A good sauté can really bring out the flavors, so don’t rush this step!
Step 3 – Add the Main Ingredients
- Add the chicken breasts to the pot.
- Toss in the carrots, celery, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in the chicken broth.
Step 4 – Set It and Forget It
- Close the lid and set the valve to ‘Sealing’.
- Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
- Allow the pressure to release naturally.
- Remember, the Instant Pot takes time to come to pressure, so the total time might be longer than the active cooking time.
Step 5 – Serve and Enjoy
- Once the pressure has released, open the pot.
- Remove the chicken breasts and shred them.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir.
- Always taste before serving to see if additional seasoning is needed.
Notes
- Pre-Cutting: Save time by chopping all your veggies in advance.
- Natural Release is Key: Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for the best texture.
