Chicken in Instant Pot

Gather the following ingredients:

Chicken

Cup of water

Seasoning

Use the rack in the instant pot

Place chicken on the rack. Do not put more in than the line at the top

Add a liquid. I add water up to the bottom of the rack. You can use chicken broth or Crockery Gourmet for chicken mix which will also make gravy.

Season the chicken as you like. If you used water you can pour vinaigrette like salad dressings over the chicken to add flaver.

If frozen cook for about 40 minutes. If thawed it should only take 15- 20 minutes.

Put the lid on and set to seal. Hit manual and set the time. Walk away.

When it is done cooking the timer will count up. You can vent the steam, do not put hand over steam. You can open when the steam has fully released.

If it is bone in chicken it may fall apart.

Serve.

Ham and Bean Soup – Instant Pot

Gather the following ingredients:

Cubed ham

15 bean mix – cajun is best even if you don’t use the seasoning

7-8 cups of water

Add all of the ingredients to the pot – you do not need the rack

Put on lid and set venting to seal

Hit manual and set time to 1hr 45 minutes – walk away

When the time has ended the instant pot will count up.

When ready to eat set the top to vent, do not put hand over steam. Once fully vented you can open the lid.

Taste a bean to make sure it is done. If not fully cooked cook for another 15 minutes. It should look more like soup then water and beans when it is ready.

Serve
