    1. Hi Terri,

      This image was used from our grilled version.

      If you want to make this version, you can choose to place the chicken on a grill after cooking to give it sear marks and add additional flavor, if you like. However, you are correct: cooking this in your instant pot alone will not give you the same visual result. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to clear this up.

    1. Hi Al, I don’t see why you can’t add vegetables or potatoes to this! You may just want to see how long the vegetables you want to cook take and then either add them later or sooner than the indicated cook time so they don’t end up too mushy for you.
