Is it easy to make poached chicken in the Instant Pot?
Making poached chicken in the Instant Pot couldn’t be easier. It only takes couple of ingredients and is done in no time.
How long does it take to make poached chicken in the Instant Pot?
Instant Pot poached chicken is set for 0 minutes on pressure cook and then is naturally released for 10 – 15 minutes. With it only taking about 10 minutes to come to pressure, your chicken will be cooked in less than 30 minutes!
What do you use Instant Pot poached chicken for?
Poached chicken is very versatile. I like to slice it up for salads or to add to a quick stir fry. It’s also very easy to use for lunch. It travels well with just a cold pack. I’ve even used it for snacks. The chicken comes out moist and tender and can easily be sliced or cubed.
