All of the ingredients except for the chicken breasts get added to a food processor or blender to be blended smooth. Dump the juice mixture and the chicken breasts into a freezer bag and you're done!

Once you're ready to make the meal, dump it into the Instant Pot, close the lid and pressure cook it.

As with anything frozen, expect a longer time for the pot to come to pressure.
