Notes

Storing instructions

Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. It's best to wait until the chicken is completely cooled before storing.

Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the instant pot on the saute function or in the microwave. I think leftovers sometimes taste better because the flavors have had time to deepen.

What meat is best for this recipe?

Chicken Tenders or Breasts: These are great for a quick cook and result in a leaner dish. They are great for those who are looking for a lighter meal.

Chuck Roast: If you’re looking for a richer, more indulgent version, chuck roast is an excellent choice. However, cooking a chuck roast will take longer to cook in the Instant Pot. The end result is a melt-in-your-mouth, savory delight.
