Uncooked onion

1 medium, sliced

Instructions

  1. Spray chicken with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. Press Sauté on 6-quart Instant Pot and set cooking time for 15 minutes. When Hot is displayed, add chicken and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on second side, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to plate.
