Hi Roseanne – you don’t have to thaw the chicken. If you’re using frozen chicken, just add 3 minutes to the cook time. Enjoy!

In reply to Chuck. Hi Chuck - generally if you can't adjust the pressure, it always cooks at high pressure. It will take a while for the pressure cooker to come to pressure before the time starts to count down. Once the pressure cooker comes to pressure, the time will appear and start to count down. Think of it like a pot coming to boil before you cook the pasta or an oven preheating before baking.

I have a GeekChef pressure cooker and no cooking instructions other than basics. There is nothing that says “high” or “low” cook time. I chose “poultry” and thought I adjusted the time to 6 minutes but it was cooking well beyond that so I canceled it after about 10 minutes or more and the chicken was obviously not done. It had cooked some but was very tough and definitely not tender enough to shred.

Hi Christine – you can double it without increasing the cook time. Just make sure you don’t fill your pot more than 2/3’s full.

Hello, I want to make a large batch of this for a party. Can I double the recipe? If so should I just increase the cook time? Thanks!

In reply to Peggy Asher. Hi Peggy - no, as long as the chicken breasts aren't stuck together like a thicker piece of meat, your cook time will be the same when you cook more. Enjoy!

Hi, what if I wanted to do 5 chicken breasts, that weigh around 21/2 ponds, would I adjust the cook time ?
