I left the chicken breast slices to cook, stirring them occasionally.

When the Instant Pot turned off the chicken breasts slices still had some pink remaining.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 8 minutes.

When the Instant Pot was done cooking, I allowed it to natural release for 3 minutes.

Then I turned the steam release handle to the venting position to finish with a quick release.

I made this in my Instant Pot Lux and used the Meat/Stew (since there isn't a straight pressure cook setting) setting and it turned out great.
