How would you adjust the recipe if you used chicken breasts instead of thighs?

I use an Instant Pot frequently, and have used many Instant Pot recipes of Urvashi Pitre (this recipe's author). I took a quick look at her blog to get guidance on cooking chicken breasts - which can be tricky, as you can imagine.

I found this helpful:

"For perfectly juicy chicken breast, the general rule is to cook the chicken on HIGH pressure for 6 minutes per pound, and then natural release for 10 minutes."

drbab's suggestion to cut the breasts in half is a good one! ;o)

I’ve never used an Instant Pot so I’m not sure if this is helpful, but when I substitute breasts for thighs, I cut them in half so that they’re approximately the same size as thighs would be, and I marinate them for about an hour in a little olive oil with salt, pepper, and sometimes lemon, onion, garlic, or other aromatics, depending on what I’m making.
