1 ninja foodi

Ingredients

3 medium chicken breasts boneless, skinless preferred
1/2 c water
3/4 c barbecue sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

In a bowl mix together bbq sauce, garlic powder and salt.
In a separate bowl add 1/2 cup of this bbq sauce mixture + your water and whisk together. Pour this into the bottom of your Foodi pot.
Lower down a trivet (the metal one your pot came with works perfect)
Lay chicken breasts on rack and brush on remaining bbq sauce in your bowl on to meat.
Close lid and steam valve and set to pressure cook high for 6 minutes. Allow to naturally release pressure when done for 3 minutes. (timing will vary depending on how thick your breasts are, always check temp when done to ensure it's done in the middle)
Lift off pressure cooker lid and set aside.
Lift out rack with chicken, set aside, and pour out liquid at the bottom of your pot.
Transfer meat into your air fryer basket and lower into your pot. (you can brush on more bbq sauce now if you want it really layered on)
Take note: if you follow the next steps to get a bit of crisp on the outside it will dry your chicken out more than if you ate it without the air crisp function. Close air crisp lid and cook at 400 degrees for 4 minutes or until internal temp when removed is 165 degrees F.
