For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pat of butter under the chicken skin before broiling. Adjust the Cajun seasoning to your preferred level of spiciness. Be very careful when doing a quick pressure release. Use a long utensil to trigger the valve and avoid any steam burns.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSeason the chicken breasts generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Ensure even coverage for maximum flavor. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepPlace a trivet inside your Instant Pot. Pour in the chicken broth, then carefully arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on the trivet. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
03
StepClose and lock the Instant Pot lid. Select high pressure and set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow the pressure to build naturally. (Pressure build time: 10-15 minutes)

StepOnce the cooking cycle is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, followed by a careful quick release to vent any remaining pressure. (Release time: 15 minutes)

StepPreheat your oven's broiler with a rack positioned about 6 inches from the heat source. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

StepTransfer the cooked chicken breasts to a baking sheet and broil until the skin is beautifully browned and crispy. Keep a close watch to prevent burning. (Broil time: 3-5 minutes)
