    This is a fantastic and easy to cook dinner in your Instant Pot. It’s a “2-phase” kind of recipe because we need the chicken to have some time alone to cook, as it takes much longer than the baby potatoes.

    If you added the baby potatoes at the beginning of the pressure cooking cycle with the chicken, they would be completely overcooked into mush. You don’t want that.

    The phases go like this – cook chicken with sauce. Quick release, add potatoes and cook a little longer. Then, natural release and you have the perfect dinner ready and waiting for you in the Instant Pot.

    Also, you don’t need to peel the potatoes – another reason I love this meal because you can skip that time consuming step of peeling ‘taters. 🙂

    Please note: do not initially cook the chicken and potatoes together…read the directions closely!
