Ingredients
- 2 lbs (900g) chicken tenders (they're called mini chicken fillets in the UK)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Β½ teaspoon salt
- ΒΌ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Β½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup (250ml) water (See Note 3)
Method
- On the Instant Pot, choose the SAUTE setting on normal to heat the Instant Pot.
- Heat olive oil in the Instant Pot, then add the chicken tenders. Season them with salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Brown the chicken tenders for 1-2 minutes on each side. This step is optional but recommended for better texture and locking in the flavor.
- Remove the chicken tenders from the Instant Pot.
- Deglaze the pot by adding a little bit of water and scraping off any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.
- Place the trivet in the Instant Pot, and add a cup of water.
- Stack the tenders on the trivet (or use a steamer basket if you prefer).
- Secure the lid and set the vent to SEALING. Select the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting and set the cooking time for 3 minutes at high pressure. The Instant Pot will take around 5 minutes to come to pressure and start cooking. When the cooking program ends, quickly release the steam.
- Remove the chicken tenders from the Instant Pot, serve and enjoy!
