Equipment
- 1 Pressure Cooker

- 1 set Measuring Cups and Spoon
- 1 Spatula or Tongs
- 1 pair Oven Mitts safety first
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 medium Chicken Breasts about 1.5 Pounds
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese cheddar works great
- 0.5 to 0.75 cup Bacon Pieces totally up to your bacon love level
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
Instructions
Pressure Cooker Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). You’ll finish this dish here after the pressure cooker part is done.
- Place the chicken breasts in your baking dish, spread out so they don’t crowd each other. This helps with cooking evenly.
- Sprinkle the garlic salt evenly on top of each chicken breast. You wanna get good coverage so every bite tastes awesome.
- Put a generous layer of shredded cheese on each piece, making sure it’s nice and thick in spots.
- Sprinkle bacon pieces all over the cheese. Don’t be shy, gotta have that bacon showing up!
- Now, pop the baking dish into your pressure cooker if it fits, or cook the chicken breasts in the cooker with a little broth to get that steam pressure going first. Watch for the float valve to rise and the valve hiss to let you know pressure build is complete.
- Cook under pressure for about 10 minutes. This part seals in juices and flavors.
Oven Finish
- Quick release the pressure, then transfer the baking dish to your oven. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and starts to brown, and chicken is fully cooked through.
