Join the discussionI made this tonight. My first attempt at an instant pot freezer meal. It tasted great. Although, I had to add more time twice…. 9 minutes from frozen wasn’t enough times. (Maybe it was the fact that I had 5 pieces of chicken instead????)
It can definitely increase your time if you had more chicken than directed. Was your frozen meat also quartered? We recommend the quartering so that the meat cooks more evenly. We will note this feedback and keep an eye on whether others have similar issues. We do test all of our recipes with several test cooks before posting and they indicated that this was enough time for them.
Is the Italian dressing liquid or dried ?
This is liquid dressing. 🙂
I got the burn notice, and I put the bbq on top and didnt stir. Had to add a half cup of chicken broth to finish the cooking and made it very thin. Tasted great though
Thanks for the great recommendation! Sometimes the burn notice happens – especially as the IP’s change their technology – but making adaptions and quick changes while cooking helps! Glad you able to save it!!
