Chicken In The Instant Pot

I still remember the exact date that I got my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. It was the 25^th November 2016 and my daughter Sofia’s 2^nd birthday.

We got it in a pre-Black Friday sale. While everyone else was fighting over whether there was any left on Back Friday, we had just had ours delivered.

It arrived in the middle of birthday fun, so we took a quick look at the box and put it down so that we could play with it in more detail later.

The next day we had it out of its box and were doing the instant pot water test. It never really phased us, and we just got on with it and loved every moment.

What we have found in the years that have followed, is that various chicken recipes are something we seem to cook in our instant pot the most.

Probably because chicken is so cheap here in Portugal and that we always have some in our freezer.

Many of our readers have said the same. Or many have fussy eaters that will only eat chicken and beyond chicken they are vegetarian.

Today is all about putting together an updated list for you of the best instant pot chicken recipes. Have a browse and bookmark some for later.

Can You Overcook Chicken In The Instapot?

Yes, you can overcook chicken in the instant pot and its easily done. What you need to remember about electric pressure cookers is that they are very fast cooking and cook chicken for too long and it can easily end up rubbery.

Though this also means it’s very quick to make pulled chicken or to cook a whole chicken.
