• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Turn on the Instant Pot and select the 'Sauté' function. Add olive oil and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Add them to the pot and sear both sides for about 2 minutes each.
3. Pour in the chicken broth, then close the lid and set the valve to 'Sealing'. Select 'Pressure Cook' and set the timer for 10 minutes.
4. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural release for 5 minutes before performing a quick release.
