Ingredients
For this recipe, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of buttermilk
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of paprika
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon of salt

Instructions
To make this pressure cooker fried chicken, follow these steps:

- In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture over the cubed chicken and mix to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and dredge each piece in the flour, making sure to cover completely. Place the floured chicken cubes on a plate or baking sheet.
- Add the vegetable oil to the pressure cooker and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken cubes in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and crispy.
