Notes
TO COOK WITHOUT SEARING CHICKEN BREAST AND POTATOES
Searing chicken breast and Potatoes is optional. You can directly start with sauteing onion and garlic. Once they look caramelized, add chicken stock. Add halved baby potatoes and Chicken Breast. Switch to manual mode and set the timer to 8 minutes. When it is done, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then release pressure manually.
