- Place the chicken breasts into the Instant Pot and pour in the broth along with all the seasonings. Stir to distribute the spices evenly.
- Secure the lid, ensuring the valve is set to seal, then program the Instant Pot to cook at high pressure for 10 minutes.
- When the cooking time concludes, allow the pressure to release naturally for 8 to 10 minutes. If any pressure remains, perform a quick release.
