Notes
Frozen Chicken: It is safe to cook frozen chicken breasts in the Instant pot. Adjust the cooking time to 15 minutes if using frozen chicken.
Type of Chicken: We use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which can be swapped with boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken tenderloins if desired.
Serving Ideas: Serving over a bed of rice, gluten-free noodles, or roasted vegetable medley are more ideas to get a try.
Homemade Gravy: Thicken the juices by making a cornstarch slurry in a separate bowl (1 TBSP juices + 1 TBSP cornstarch) then whisking into the instant pot to create a homemade gravy. This mixture can be used to drizzle over the top of the mashed potatoes or as a dipping sauce for the sandwiches.
