Join the discussionThis is soooo yummy! I thickened the sauce and used it as a gravy. Super good. My daughter asked for the recipe.
Great idea! So glad you all enjoyed it. 🙂
This recipe was a big hit at my house tonight. The only complaint was that I had not made enough.
Awesome! That is the BEST complaint!
Would this work with chicken thighs?
Of course! You should be just fine to swap breasts for thighs. Be sure to take a look at this blog post of ours too for some helpful tips on adjusting Instant Pot recipes! >> https://onceamonthmeals.com/blog/series/instant-pot/instant-pot-tips-tricks-201/
