Cook Time
Cooking the chicken in an Instant Pot takes about 25 minutes. You can use the pressure cooker's "manual" setting to adjust the cooking time as needed.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need:
- 1 whole chicken (about 4 lbs)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions

2. Next, add the butter and pour the chicken broth around the chicken. Add the minced garlic to the broth as well. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the valve to the "sealing" position.
