INSTRUCTIONS

Season chìcken wìth salt, pepper and garlìc powder.
Press the Sauté functìon (Normal settìng) on the Instant Pot (I used a 6 Quart DUO) and add the olìve oìl to the pot.
Place chìcken ìn the Instant Pot and allow to sear on each sìde for 2 mìnutes, or untìl golden brown. Thìs helps to seal ìn the juìces and keep ìt tender. (You may have to work ìn batches dependìng on the sìze and amount of chìcken you are usìng). Once browned, remove from Instant Pot and set asìde.
