Juicy, flavorful chicken from your Instant Pot for an effortless and fast meal any time.
I have to tell you, my Instant Pot has become a lifesaver around here. There are times where I am so busy, I just don’t have time to cook. This recipe is perfect for those kinds of days. I can toss the ingredients in the Instant Pot, go back to what I was doing, and a little while later it’s ready to eat.
I made this very recipe recently when I was busy working on some projects. I had intended to make something else…looked up and saw what time it was and yikes! It was much too late to start the other recipe I had planned and I needed to make something… so this was it. Fast and delicious!
You can also make this recipe in your slow cooker if that is your preferred method. I have both methods included in the printable version of this recipe below.
