Instant Pot Garlic Chicken and Potatoes

Chicken and Potatoes in the Instant Pot

Everyone knows my love for the Instant Pot. It makes delicious meals in the fraction of the time that traditional cooking does and the clean up is almost always as instant as the name of the pot would make you think it is.

Most people also know my love for potatoes. It may be my Irish heritage speaking but how can I not love potatoes? So many delicious meals that can be made from them not to mention the wonderful drink known as vodka.

This recipe originally came to be due to my love of a certain sandwich that my grocery sells in the meals to go section. This sandwich is on a baguette and contains chicken, stuffing, cranberries, and mayo. I'm sure everyone knows how overpriced these sandwiches can be at the meals to go section of the grocery store, so rather than paying an arm and a leg for a sandwich I thought I could make that for a fraction of the price.

Of course while planning out how to prepare the ingredients for this sandwich my mind wandered to my Instant Pot. I thought, why not make the chicken for the sandwich in the Instant Pot and add some potatoes so that way I have a few different types of meals prepared rather than just a bunch of sandwiches.

Of course I love how fast the Instant Pot cooks the meals as well as how quickly clean up is since everything is done in the one pot but the best part of this recipe is that the broth left over in the pot after cooking the chicken and potatoes was used to make the stuffing for the sandwiches that I previously described. Perhaps the stuffing recipe will be the next to come. Of course you don't have to use the broth to make stuffing. You can do whatever you like with it. Another great way to use the broth is to make some Instant Pot rice with the broth.

Please note that this recipe does take quite a bit of room in the Instant Pot and due to this, it does require a longer amount of time to pressurize. Make sure you do not overfill your Instant Pot, they come in many different sizes and while this amount of ingredients does fit in my pot that does not mean it will fit in yours.

I hope everyone enjoys this meal as much as I did. In fact, it may be my favorite Instant Pot meal yet.
