Notes
Please note - I use the Instant Pot pressure cooker and other pressure cookers may require different times or variables.
If you don't want to let the steam vent naturally, I recommend adding an additional 3-5 minutes onto the cooking time.
I don't add salt because I feel like whatever recipe I will be using the chicken with most likely will have enough seasoning. Please feel free to add a pinch of salt and/or pepper if desired
