Turn your Instant Pot to saute mode. Add the olive oil to your Instant Pot then season each side of your chicken breast. Saute each side for one minute.
2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breast, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend, ¾ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 pinch black pepper
Carefully, remove the chicken and add the trivet (wire rack). Add one cup of chicken broth (use two cups if you are using an 8 quart pressure cooker) and the chicken breast on the trivet.
1 cup chicken broth
Secure the lid to your Instant Pot. Turn the valve to sealing pressure.
Select pressure cook (or manual cook) and cook at high pressure for 8 minutes for fresh chicken. For frozen select 10 to 12 minutes (depending on how large your chicken breast are).
Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully do a quick release.

*If you are using an 8 quart increase liquid to two cups.

Storage:

Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in your fridge. The chicken will be good for up to three days after making.

If you'd like freeze any leftovers, I recommend shredding then placing in a freezer safe plastic storage bag.
