8 Easy Instant Pot Chicken Recipes

The Instant Pot craze hit this house last year and let me tell you, I’m a fan. A big fan! I’ve been scouring recipes like a mad woman the last 6 months, so I can keep making delicious meals for my family in the shortest amount of time possible! Our evenings can be crazy and I generally don’t get to make a time consuming meal during the week.

If you don’t have an Instant Pot yet, go do yourself the biggest favor and snag one. Dead serious — you won’t regret it!  They have multiple sizes — for my family I generally used the 6 qt Instant Pot, but I also have a 8 qt Instant Pot and use it when making large roasts or food for a large gathering.

WHAT INSTANT POT SHOULD I BUY?

If you haven’t already ordered your Instant Pot, here are a few things to consider:

They have a few different sizes of Instant Pots. I use my 6-quart Instant Pot the most — it’s perfect for hard boiling eggs, cooking a roast to shred, sauces and more. But, I also love my 8-quart Instant Pot! I use it to do full meals that require all the ingredients — like a roast, with potatoes and Brussel Sprouts. I highly suggest you check out my Best Instant Pot Accessories Post for more information not only the accessories, but also a few of my favorite Instant Pots!
