Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.

  2. Select the 'Saute' function on your Instant Pot. Add the olive oil and let it heat up. Sear the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown.

  3. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme to the Instant Pot. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.

  4. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken. Close the lid of the Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is set to 'Sealing.' Select the 'Pressure Cook' function and set the timer for 8 minutes.

  5. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes. Then perform a quick release by turning the valve to 'Venting.'

  6. Open the lid and check the chicken for doneness. If necessary, cook for a few additional minutes to ensure fully cooked.

  7. Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the chicken before serving.

  8. Serve hot with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables or a light salad.
