- Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and use the manual (pressure cook) button to adjust the time to 8 minutes.
- After the time is up, allow a 10 minute natural pressure release before opening the valve to release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and remove the chicken to cut into chunks or shred.
- Add the chicken back in and stir in the broccoli florets, along with the milk (if using). Place the shredded cheese on top. Return the lid to the Instant Pot (make sure the valve is on venting and the Instant Pot is on Keep Warm). Leave the lid on for 5-10 minutes depending on how soft you like the broccoli. Remove the lid and serve warm.2 cups broccoli florets, ½ cup milk, 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
