I love making recipes, and I love taking pictures, and I love to see the happy faces on my buffalo chicken instant pot when they eat what I’ve made them. I also love hearing from you about which recipes you liked, and how often you make them, and how much your family loves the food too.
As it turns out, you all love the Instant Pot just about as much as I do, which is great news because I love coming up with new and tasty recipes that work well in it. I know everyone out there is just as pressed for time as I am so anything I can do to help you get a nutritious dinner on the table faster is worth it. For this recipe, I confess, I already had chicken in mind. And potatoes just go so well with chicken, don’t you think?
Plus, both of these ingredients cook up in a similar time frame — which is important for an Instant Pot recipe where you just want to seal it and forget it. I chose ranch and parmesan flavoring as well because not only are they delicious flavorings, but they also are probably on hand in most everyone’s kitchens. It just takes a little creativity and some awesome kitchen gadgets. The Instant Pot can take care of that for you, too. However, I would recommend you thaw the breasts a little in the microwave first. Otherwise, the spices and parm will not stick to your breasts the way they should in this recipe if they are frozen solid.
CAN I MAKE THIS RECIPE IN A SLOW COOKER? If you don’t have an Instant Pot, no worries. Follow the directions the same, except put the chicken and potatoes in your slow cooker and cook for about 3-4 hours on high or 4-6 on low. CAN YOU BAKE POTATOES IN AN INSTANT POT? If you like the idea of potatoes in an Instant Pot but you only want to bake potatoes, you can do that, too. Set the cleaned, whole potatoes on the rack and then add a cup of cold water.
You can also cook potatoes in an instant pot with beef, as seen in this Instant Pot Pot Roast recipe. Will make this again soon for sure! I’m new to the instant pot and this was delicious! Then I sprinkled the parm cheese over all. My family loves it and I have made it once a week for at least a month!
