Description
Instant Pot Chicken Tenderloins are quick, easy, and flavorful, making them a perfect choice for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenderloins
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley or lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Start by patting the chicken tenderloins dry with paper towels. In a medium-sized bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Generously season each tenderloin, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
- Activate the ‘Sauté’ function on the Instant Pot, adding the olive oil. Place the seasoned chicken and let them sear for about 2 minutes on each side until golden.
- Carefully pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pot, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
- Secure the lid, set the valve to sealing, and pressure cook for 5 minutes followed by a natural release for 5 minutes.
- Perform a quick release, check for doneness, and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
Notes
Ensure your Instant Pot has a good seal to prevent loss of pressure during cooking.
