Looking for an incredible Instant Pot Chicken Breast Recipe? These Rotisserie Chicken Breasts are so good, your mouth will water just thinking about them. Make these Instant Pot Rotisserie Chicken Breast for a healthy family dinner tonight.
How to Make Instant Pot Chicken Breasts
Whenever I make dinner, unless it is a special treat, I want to make sure that it is a healthy dinner. Chicken breast is always a hit in my house. Since we love rotisserie chicken, making Rotisserie Chicken in the Instant Pot is a dinner we all get excited about.
Can I use frozen chicken breast for this recipe?
You can use frozen chicken breast in this recipe but there are some issues. When you use frozen chicken breast you can not brown the skin and create that delicious caramelized skin. However, there are plenty of times that I have not taken my chicken out of the freezer and I cook my frozen chicken in the Instant Pot.
When you are cooking frozen chicken in the Instant Pot you want to add a few minutes, around 3 or 4 minutes, to the cooking time. It will also take a longer time to get the Instant Pot longer to come to temperature when you are using frozen chicken breast. Sometimes, this can be as much as 12 minutes.
What to Serve With Chicken Breast
Instant Pot Chicken Breast is so versatile it can go with anything. It can be used as a Weight Watchers meal or as a Keto meal. It can be served with so many different side dishes like Easy Tri-colored Rosemary Potatoes, The Best Air Fryer Asparagus Recipe Ever, Easy Apple Butternut Squash Casserole, and Parmesan Green Beans.
Should I use the poultry setting on the Instant Pot?
My Instant Pot doesn’t have a poultry setting. But even if it did, I wouldn’t use it. This is because it is meant to cook chicken which is great, but it doesn’t take into consideration what kind of chicken it is. Since chicken breast with bone in cooks differently than chicken breast without the bone and chicken thighs cook differently than a chicken breast, I do not like the idea of the poultry button.
What To Do If Your Chicken is Undercooked
When chicken is done, you want it to read 165 degrees or you can get sick. If the chicken is close, around 160 degrees, letting the chicken rest in the Instant Pot with the lid on for another 5 minutes is enough to finish cooking the chicken.
if you find that the chicken is still not cooked, you can return it to the Instant Pot for another 2 minutes of high pressure. You can also finish cooking the chicken in a 350 degree oven.
How to Store Instant Pot Chicken
You want to make sure to always store chicken in the refrigerator. Store the Instant Pot Chicken in an air tight container for about 4 days. You can also freeze the cooked chicken for up to 3 months. I like to store my chicken in a freezer bag to take up the least amount of space while keeping the chicken from getting freezer burn.
