  1. Cooking time on this is actually much longer. I did the 5 mins as suggested with slow release and my food was still frozen. I know times vary with machines but I feel like it shouldn’t have still been frozen.

    1. Hi Elizabeth, I’m so sorry this recipe gave you trouble. I’ve passed this feedback to our Menu Builder team to review. Do you mind if I ask a couple follow up questions to better assist? Did you cut up the chicken thighs or put them in whole? And what size Instant Pot are you using? We have noticed lately that if you have an 8qt, you may need to add a little extra time.

  2. This is one of our favorites from this site, we’ve done the freezer version with an 8 Qt Instant Pot. The first time I got the “burn” error and 5 minutes was not long enough (chicken was still frozen). The second time I saute’d for 5 minutes first, added about 1/4 cup of broth and cooked for 8 minutes followed by natural pressure release. This turned out so well I’m sure it’ll be on the menu every month!

  3. New to OAMM and this was my first meal trying from frozen. 5 minutes wasn’t enough so I added it back to the Instant Pot and cooked for an additional 5 minutes but the second time around, I did a quick release. Came out perfect and my three-year old loved it.

    1. Hi Jane Ann,
      There are several factors that come into play with pressure cooking. We went back to the original recipe and everything is okay so we are sticking with it. We would encourage you to cut your dice your chicken (if there are too large of chicken pieces they won’t cook) in the amount of time. At this time though there isn’t reason to change the time.
