    Instant Pot Island Chicken

    Want your kids to polish their plates?

    Make them this Instant Pot Island Chicken.

    The fabulous citrus flavors both soften and flavor-ize the chicken and the pineapple adds just the right amount of sweetness!

    We have chicken and rice night about once a week, with different variations of chicken and rice. This meal is just perfect!

    This meal is also freezer friendly (add all ingredients to plastic baggies and freeze, then let it thaw and add to Instant Pot to cook. The meat will marinate as it thaws.)

    Also, I recently made this on the DINNER MADE EASY Show on Facebook Live. Check it out here…
