Does Sauce Count as Liquid in the Instant Pot?
If you have been working with the Instant Pot for a while, you know there needs to be some form of liquid in there. You may want to know if sauce counts as a liquid in the Instant Pot? Yes, it does! As long as you have some form of liquid in the Instant Pot you’re good, but it has to be at least one cup of liquid (water, broth, sauce).
Can I Put Frozen Chicken in My Instant Pot?
The answer is YES, you can! Just remember that frozen chicken is going to take longer to cook in the Instant Pot. The reason is that because the chicken is frozen, it takes longer for the Instant Pot to come to pressure.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken breast, cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning blend (oregano, basil, thyme)
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 4 ounces (½ package) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Instructions
-
Mix together dry seasonings and toss together with the chicken.
-
Set the pressure cooker to “saute” until hot. In small batches, brown the chicken in olive oil. Set aside and keep warm.
-
When all of the chicken is browned, deglaze the bottom of the pressure cooker by adding the chicken broth and scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon.
-
Return the chicken to the electric pressure cooker and stir in the garlic.
-
Close and set the valve to sealing. Set the pressure cooker to manual or pressure cook for 3 minutes. After the cycle, perform a quick release.
-
Stir in the remaining ingredients until the cheese has melted.
-
Serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles. Garnish with black pepper, additional parmesan and/or fresh basil if desired.
Notes
For the slow cooker:
- In a large skillet, brown the chicken on all sides before adding to the slow cooker.
- Prepare the slow cooker crock with non-stick cooking spray. Add the chicken.
- Reduce the chicken broth to ½ cup. Pour over chicken and dot with butter and cream cheese. Cover with parmesan.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. Stir in heavy whipping cream prior to serving.
