Step 1
Pour the water into the inner liner of the pressure cooker. Set the trivet/metal rack in the pot also.
Step 2
Rub the chicken breasts with the olive oil.
Step 3
Rub the spice rub on all sides of the chicken breasts. Set them on the trivet/rack in the pot. Try my Baked Chicken Spice Rub.
Step 4
Place the lid on the pot and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
Step 5
Press the Pressure Cook (Manual) button or dial, and then the +/- button or dial to select 7 minutes for an 8 oz breast, (a little less than 1 minute per ounce). If cooking multiple breasts, set time for the average size (High Pressure).
Step 6
When the cook time is finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 10 minutes (10 minute natural release). Then manually release any remaining pressure/steam.
Step 7
Open the lid and take the temperature with a meat thermometer. It should read at least 160° and will cook a little more as it rests.
Step 8
Remove the chicken to a plate and let rest 5-10 minutes, tented with foil, before cutting it as this will help it retain its juices.
