Instant Pot Chicken and Potatoes
Juicy chicken breasts and tender potatoes with a bit of parmesan is an ideal one-pot dinner you can make in only 25 minutes!
It cannot get easier than this as we are sure you have all the ingredients in your pantry already.
Which potatoes to use?
We used new potatoes, but you can go with golden or red potatoes. Just make sure they are small enough.
Can I use frozen chicken?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken, just thaw overnight. I do not recommend going with frozen chicken in the Instant Pot since the potatoes will cook faster and the chicken will stay raw.
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Absolutely. The chicken thighs are the juiciest part of the chicken. If using one, decrease cooking time by 5 minutes. Just make sure you are using really small potatoes or small cuts of potatoes. This ensures all is cooked the same.
What about spice blend?
This recipe uses Mediterranean herbs. Still, you can use any types of herbs and spices you like.
