It does not matter if you are using fresh or frozen chicken, the Instant Pot adjusted the cooking time so the recipe is perfect. With just two steps and locking and sealing the lid, you will have dinner in 10 minutes under pressure about 30 if the chicken is frozen.
No matter what electric pressure cooker you use the process is the same. Just chop up the onions, mushrooms, and peppers toss them in the pressure cooker with a tablespoon of olive oil, and set the Instant Pot on Saute. Let the vegetables soften and then toss in the rest of the ingredients. You then have your hands free to take care of the kids, find out about their day, and help them with homework or play.
There is nothing worse than working all day coming home and having everyonehungrycomplaining and all you want to do is enjoy your evening. Even if you are a work at home mom, I know I just want some downtime and to eat myself. The electric pressure/instant pot allows you to cook and take it easy at the same time. It is like a fast slow cooker.
If you have a baby at home you know that when you are home you want to make sure your time is spent with the baby, not on the kitchen stove. If you do not have an Instant Pot electric pressure cooker you have to try it. It may seem complicated but with a little practice, you will be confident. Just start with a simple meal like this chicken & rice. Then experimentand change up the veggies and the spices and you and a lot of options.
