  4. If time allows, let marinate in the refrigerator for an hour.
  5. Place contents from bowl in the Instant Pot. Lock lid into place and seal steam nozzle.
  6. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
  7. Let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes then release any remaining pressure.
  8. Remove chicken from Instant Pot and set to saute. Whisk cornstarch constantly as you add to bbq sauce and let thicken for a few minutes.

  1. Can you tell me approximately how much each chicken breast you use weighs. Since 1/4 of a 8 oz breast and a 16 oz breast would make a difference in cooking time.

    1. 1 serving = ~5 oz. If 2 lbs is listed then yes, about 8 oz; however, chicken breasts vary so much we list in lbs. If you have chicken breasts that each weigh 1 lb each you can simply cut them into smaller portions.
