I'm trying to do some BBQ flavored chicken breasts in an instant pot but I am having trouble finding out how long these things need to be in there for.

I keep seeing times anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes.

I'm going to sear them on saute mode and will use all sauce for the liquid.

These are boneless breasts and they are NOT frozen.

What is the proper time for pressure cooking these suckers?

Not this long.

Why don't you go with one of the lower end estimates and then just put it back on for longer if they are not done? I find that most recipes online are for stove-top pressure cookers and I usually need to add 5 or so minutes to my cook time. I've never had issues with overcooking food in the pressure cooker, the meat may be falling apart but it wont dry out.

Thanks for the tips. I took your advice and went with with 7 minutes on high.

Turned out ok but next time I'll do it for a few more minutes so it will shred easier.

You are right that most recipes are for the stove top pressure cookers which makes it a little difficult to know what I should do with the electric.
