If it’s been simmering for 15 minutes and is still watery, it’s likely that your chicken released more liquids than is usual during the pressure cooking process. I would recommend making a cornstarch slurry to help it thicken up. Combine 2 tablespoons cold water with 2 tablespoons corn starch. Stir until well mixed, then add them into the cooking pot, stirring the whole time. The cornstarch will thicken the sauce nicely once it gets above 200 degrees F. If it’s still thinner than you’d like, add another 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in the same manner.

Let us know how it turns out!

Making this right now, and I’m confused by the “sauce”. It’s been simmering on saute function for 15 minutes….still so watery. It’s supposed to thicken up? What am I missing?

Thank you for your chicken marinara recipe, I was inspired by it this morning when trying to figure out dinner for tonight. It was a hit! I used four pretty large chicken breasts, so I used my 8 quart Instant Pot and it was fine, for anybody wondering about using a larger IP.

Hi Beverly – I would use a 3 minute cook time, that’s the cook time in my Chicken Lazone recipe which uses chicken tenders. https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/pressure-cooker-chicken-lazone/

I would like to make this recipe with a pound or two of chicken tenderloins, for smaller serving sizes. Would I need to make any adjustments to the cooking time?

In reply to Mickey. Hi Mickey - yes, you can add more than 6 breasts without making any changes to the cook time. Just make sure your pot isn't more than 2/3 full. Enjoy!

Can you could more chicken breasts (6)? How would this change the recipe, if possible?

I just got an Instant Pot and have been bookmarking your recipes, which look wonderful. I just wanted to bring up a safety issue with this one – glass is not broiler-safe. Last summer my daughter’s friend tested this theory in my kitchen and the glass dish exploded. It’s not always going to happen, but it can, and its really awful and dangerous when it does.
