🧂 Ingredients

1 Sprinkle chicken liberally with salt and pepper.
2 Select the “saute” function on the Instant Pot and add oil and allow it to get
hot. Add chicken, breast side down, and allow it to cook for 5 minutes. Do not
move the chicken!
3 Using tongs or two large spoons, carefully turn the chicken over and continue to
cook for an additional 5 minutes.
4 Press “off” on the Instant Pot, add water to the pot. Carefully drop in the
garlic and lay the herbs around and across the top of the chicken.
5 Put lid on the Instant Pot, move vent to “sealed,” and select the “manual”
setting and be sure it shows 30 minutes and high pressure.
6 After 30 minutes, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 to 15 minutes
then move vent to “venting” release any remaining pressure.
