Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Cajun Chicken Breasts.
Step 1
Start by generously seasoning your chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 2
Next, place a trivet inside your Instant Pot and pour in the chicken broth, creating a flavorful base for your dish.
Step 3
Gently lay the seasoned chicken breasts on the trivet, allowing them to steam beautifully as they cook.
Step 4
Secure the lid of the Instant Pot, making sure it’s locked in place.
Step 5
Set the device to high pressure and let it work its magic for 10 minutes, following the manufacturer's guidelines.
Step 6
As the pressure builds, take a moment to savor the delicious aroma that fills your kitchen.
Step 7
Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes.
Step 8
After that, carefully switch to quick release to let out any remaining steam.
Step 9
When it’s safe to do so, open the lid and lift out the succulent chicken breasts, which should be perfectly cooked and juicy.
Step 10
Now, let’s add a delightful finishing touch! Preheat your oven’s broiler and adjust the oven rack to about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 11
Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking sheet and pop them under the broiler for about 4 minutes, or until the skin turns a beautiful golden brown and crispy.
Step 12
This step not only enhances the flavor but also gives your dish an appealing texture.
Step 13
Enjoy your delicious Cajun chicken, bursting with flavor and ready to impress!.
