In reply to keri christensen. Hi Keri - yes, Diane uses 4 cups of chicken broth so she can use the broth in recipes throughout the week as well.

In reply to Jay K Sackuvich. Jay, you do not need to double the time for cooking frozen chicken breasts. As Barbara notes, your cook time should not change when using frozen chicken breasts, but it will take longer to come to pressure.

This is really easy. I make a lot of foods in large quantities and freeze them in smaller portions for using in all sorts of recipes. I’m going to do this with chicken as well as beef and pork! Thanks for the tip!

In reply to Jay K Sackuvich. Hi Jay - yes, you always need to use liquid when cooking in the pressure cooker. Diane used 4 cups of water in this recipe because she wanted chicken broth to use in recipes too. She cooked the chicken on the rack/trivet that comes with the pressure cooker. If you just want to cook the chicken and not use the broth, you can use just one cup of water. Your cook time should not change when using frozen chicken breasts, but it will take longer to come to pressure.

In reply to rhonda gutierrez. You can cook a whole chicken as long as it fits in the pressure cooker. I'd cook it on a rack for about 6 minutes per pound.
