Take 2 frozen chicken breasts (or more if needed) ensuring they are not stuck together in a block.

Moisten the top of each chicken breast with a brush and some water.

Sprinkle all-purpose seasoning on the moistened side of the chicken breasts to help it stick.

Flip the chicken breasts over and repeat the moistening and seasoning process on the other side.

Add 1 cup of water or broth to the Instant Pot.

Place a rack inside the Instant Pot and arrange the chicken breasts on the rack, ensuring they are not stacked too high or in one large piece.

Seal the lid of the Instant Pot and set it to sealing.

Select 'pressure cook' and set the time to 10 minutes on high pressure for 8-ounce chicken breasts.

After cooking, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 5 minutes, then perform a quick release.

Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot; it should be tender and juicy.
