This pressure cooker chicken recipe delivers tender, juicy breasts with a creamy Parmesan coating, perfectly cooked in just minutes for a fuss-free, flavorful meal.
Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry to remove any extra moisture.
Pour about 1 cup of water or chicken broth into the pressure cooker pot to generate steam and pressure.
Place the chicken breasts carefully into the pot, spacing them out to allow steam circulation.
Mix together the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and garlic powder until smooth.
Spread the mixture evenly over each chicken breast to create a golden, flavorful crust.
Lock the lid on, check that the float valve is up, and set the pressure cooker for 8 minutes on high pressure. When done, perform a quick release and open carefully. Check that the chicken is cooked through with a tender pull texture.
Notes
Use quick release immediately after cooking to avoid overcooking. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
