- Add shrimp and cook 1 to 3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- Add the rest of the butter and olive oil, sear chicken breasts for about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour in water or broth, secure the lid, and set to high pressure for 6 minutes.

Notes
Make sure you grab a large pressure cooker that can handle all this goodness in one batch. You’ll also need kitchen stuff like tongs and a good meat thermometer if you wanna be super exact with doneness. Fresh parsley’s optional but it’s great for garnish and a little green pop on your plate.
