Notes

CAN YOU COOK FROZEN MEAT IN AN INSTANT POT?

Only have frozen chicken on hand? No problem. You can cook frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the Instant Pot too. They will just take a bit longer. For medium-sized breasts, cook at high pressure for 12 minutes. Then, allow the pressure to release naturally for an additional 10 minutes by leaving the Instant Pot alone. Make sure the indicator shows that the pressure has been released before opening the Instant Pot.
