  4. Add the chicken breasts, then turn to cover well with sauce.
  5. Lock the lid in place and seal the steam vent.

  7. Natural release for 5 minutes then quick release any remaining pressure.
  8. Change setting to saute to thicken sauce, if desired.

    1. Cindy, we would think so. However, there wouldn’t be a ton of liquid to work with, so we’d caution you to make sure it wouldn’t burn or dry out too fast. Maybe try cooking on low for 4-6 hours? If you do try it, and it turns out well, let us know!
