**Easy Pressure Cooker Chicken Breast**

**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup chicken broth
– Fresh parsley, for garnish

**Instructions:**
1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Press the seasoning into the chicken to ensure it sticks.

2. Select the “Saute” setting on your pressure cooker and heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown color.

3. Once the chicken is browned, add the chicken broth to the pressure cooker. Be sure to deglaze the bottom of the pot to ensure no bits are stuck, as this can lead to the “Burn” message on some pressure cookers.

4. Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set the valve to the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.

5. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for about 5 minutes, then carefully perform a quick pressure release.

6. Remove the chicken breasts from the pressure cooker and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the chicken remains juicy.

7. Serve the Easy Pressure Cooker Chicken Breast garnished with fresh parsley. This dish pairs perfectly with rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple side salad.

Now you have a delicious and effortless meal ready to enjoy with little effort and time spent in the kitchen. The pressure cooker has done all the work for you, leaving you with tender, flavorful chicken breasts that are perfect for any night of the week.
