2. Press the saute function and add the olive oil to the insert.

3. Once warm, place the chicken breasts in and sear/cook for 3 minutes per side. Then add the diced onion and saute 4-5 minutes until softened.

4. Add the juice from one lemon and the chicken broth and cook for a minute.

5. Close the lid and make sure the vent is sealed.

6. Press the manual/pressure cook button and set the time for 7 minutes.
