Instant Pot Chicken Breast
The one thing I love about this Instant Pot chicken salad is the super speedy time it takes to cook the chicken breast under pressure. When cooking from fresh, the chicken breast will cook in as little as 3 minutes.
If you’re cooking your Instant Pot chicken breast from frozen then you will need to add a further 3 minutes to the cooking time. When I first got my Instant Pot, I was amazed that I could cook frozen chicken breast directly in my pressure cooker.
Cooking chicken breast from frozen in the Instant pot tastes just as good as fresh chicken. So, if you’ve been super busy and not had time to defrost your meat, you can still enjoy a healthy low point Weight Watchers salad.
Ingredients Needed For Your Chicken Mango Avocado Salad
For the chicken:
- 1 cup of chicken stock or broth (1 point)
- 1 pound of quality chicken breast, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil (1 point)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Per each salad you’ll want the following:
- 2 cups of mixed spring greens
- ½ of a mango, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 of a ripe avocado (2 points)
- ¼ cup of fresh blueberries
How To Cook Chicken Breast In The Instant Pot
Start by heating the oil in the Instant Pot using the Sautee setting.
When hot, place the chicken in the pot, in a single layer and lightly brown each side for about 60 seconds, you can season the chicken at this time.
When you have finished browning the chicken, remove it from the pot for just a minute and deglaze the bottom of the pan using the chicken stock. You’ll find a ton of the flavor is there, so you won’t want to leave it just stuck to the bottom of the inner pot.
Now place the trivet that came with you IP inside and set the chicken on top.
Twist on the locking lid and cancel the Sautee setting.
Select the Manual setting for 3 to 4 minutes depending on the size of your chicken breast.
When the cook time has finished and the pot beeps, let it Natural Pressure Release for 8 to 10 minutes (again, depending on the size and thickness of the breast).
Now release any remaining pressure manually-and carefully.
Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
How To Prep Your Weight Watchers Chicken Mango Salad
While the chicken is cooking, you can prepare the salad by washing, drying, slicing and putting everything together.
I prefer to wait until ready to serve and enjoy the salad before putting the chicken on top to make sure the greens don’t wilt.
You’re tasty and delicious 3 point mango chicken salad is ready to eat!
