    We absolutely LOOOOOVE our Instant Pot.>>>ur2.pl/1046 We got it on Prime day and have used it every day since. Like most people, we fell into a rut of making the same meals over and over. The Instant Pot has opened up a whole new world for us. We are still discovering new recipes and having a lot of fun. If you are considering one of these, don't hesitate. I HIGHLY recommend it.

    You failed to mention two, very important things: (1) the measurement of spices and seasonings, and (2) how long to roast the chicken, and at what temperature. Worthless, and a waste of time!

    Depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts (and note — be sure to pound them beforehand if needed with a meat mallet so that they are uniformly thick for even cooking), roasting them at 450 should require a cooking time between 15-18 minutes.

    You're supposed to go to the website to get more information.

    So this is the step that causes some disagreement amongst chicken lovers. Do you bake your chicken breasts low and slow (as in, 30 minutes at 350)? Or do you bake them high and quick (as in, 15 minutes at 450)? I have tried both — and just about every interval in between — dozens upon dozens upon dozens of times. And after such, I fall firmly in the latter camp.

    I like to roast my chicken breasts on high heat.

    Depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts (and note — be sure to pound them beforehand if needed with a meat mallet so that they are uniformly thick for even cooking), roasting them at 450 should require a cooking time between 15-18 minutes. It’s speedy and it’s easy. But I love it most because cooking at high heat quickly develops a nice crispier “crust” on the outside of the breasts, which also locks in those juices and keeps the chicken perfectly tender on the inside. It’s the best of both worlds.

    I highly recommend investing in a small cooking thermometer to measure the temp of the chicken in order to tell if it has fully cooked (160-170 degrees F), versus cutting into it with a fork (which lets those good juices seep out). I use this instant-read thermometer (affiliate link) that I bought on Amazon for $15.
