Looks so good!
What
Just made this and yum!!
Wonderful!
Thank you for the recipe in description, and your magic IP cooking formula. 4:35 IP 6 min/per lb or 7 min per lb for very big chicken. Natural release preferably for 20 min. 5:47 frozen chicken: 10 min/lb to cook a frozen chicken, 6:05 internal temp shd be 165F ...
You are very welcome!
I made this last night and we all loved it!! Thank you for another delicious and easy receipe!! ❤
You are so welcome!
I just found YOU and I am going to make this in a few days and I will pray it works for me too. I have a question though, for veggies could I just put in a bag of frozen veggies I like? thanks
Hi there! Yes, if you would like to add in a couple cups of frozen mixed veggies that will work. Enjoy!
Water temperature varies, depending on the time of year. We live in a warm climate and the water, from the well, doesn’t come out “cold”. It’s always around 88° F. Are you saying I should be adjusting my Instant Pot cooking time?
That is a great question. So yes, I would either suggest adding 2 ice cubes to take the temperature down a bit or add 2 minutes to the the TOTAL cooking time.
Do you have a meat sauce version of this recipe. If not...when would I add in my sausage and ground beef. Thank you!!
Hey there! To add meat, saute the beef or sausage using the saute function first. Then add in the wine or broth and scrape up any browned bits and proceed with the recipe :)
@@AMindFullMom Thank you so much for responding. I cannot wait to make this‼
@@debbieomalley3451 enjoy!
Go Browns!!! You must be from Ohio!!! I am soooo glad I stumbles on your channel.
Maybe this year--LOL!! Will always be a Browns fan, even though I haven't lived in Ohio for nearly 20 years. So happy you found my channel as well.
Don't forget to mention the forever chemicals in the nonstick coating in the air fryer that causes cancer.
I actually have a ceramic model for this very reason.
Thank-you this is a very tasty recipe. I am going to rotate it in for meal prep, as I try to eat more efficiently and healthy. Here are some things I had to learn the hard way as an Instant-pot novice: Tomato, beans and starches can stick easily to the bottom and trigger the "Burn" warning. In retrospect the light submerging of the rice and the lack of mixing towards the end of the recipe is very important. Also note that the tomatoes are not mixed in. I have been struggling with triggering the burn warning every now and again; this recipe forced me to learn what I was doing wrong.
I am so happy to hear this video helped you learn a few tips :) The IP can be finicky at times.
I made this, and it came out so good! This is perfect. The only thing i did was add fresh minced cilantro at the end!
Wonderful!
Salt?
Feel free to add while cooking. I would add 1 teaspoon and then adjust after seasoning.
I’ll start my day with a hashbrown and an egg bite. They’re both great and last me a long time. I like to make mine with feta cheese and brocoli crowns (no stems). Thanks for the video. Have a great day!
LOVE feta and broccoli together.
I love your instant pot videos
Thank you so much!
You gotta have garlic
Always!
Oh, wow I just tried this instant pot recipe recipe and omg! I've never been successful cooking rice in the instant pot but not only is it a success, the chicken, and the rice, too, is remarkably moist and fluffy and delicious. Thank you so much!
YAY!! I am thrilled to hear you enjoyed so much!
Can you make 1.5 lbs. of beans? Or is that too much for the 6 qt. Instant Pot?
That will work! I wouldn't do much more than that though.
@@AMindFullMom Thanks!
Can I use plain mustard instead of dried mustard?
Yes, but the flavor is not quite as pungent.
@@AMindFullMom I don't have dry mustard.
@@mariaconsuelothomen Then use 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard. It won't be the same, but it will help to add flavor.
@@AMindFullMom Thanks
Another wonderful recipe, thank you!🎉
Thank you!
You are not supposed to seal the pot for slow cooking. You should use a tempered glass lid with vent to allow the moisture escape.
Cool video thank you will make this for my family
Hope you enjoy
Great ice creamy explanation ma'am. Jussojuan
Most welcome 😊
Mmmmm, like a good bbq sauce, but it’s dry rub! I just made it and I love this recipe. I didn’t beat it though, I just butterfly cut the breasts into 2 separate pieces.
So happy you enjoyed!
Hi Kristen, I was cooking your butter chicken last night, with pot in pot jasmine rice. I have the whisper quiet version and have had IP's for around a year now. My daughter, husband and I noticed that the unit was taking a looong time to come to pressure, we know it takes longer with the rice on the trivet, but this was super long. Then we starting seeing more than the odd whiff of steam escaping and then... we had our first ever burn notice!!! I didn't panic, because I have been watching you so long and I watched your video about what to do, several times. So I turned it off and back on released the pressure. The bottom of the pot was burnt black. I have a theory, that toasting the herbs and the tomato paste caused this and even though I cleaned the bottom, I didn't do a good enough job. Any way, its all good (apart from the loss of food) we cleaned the pot and put the rice back on and ordered a take away. You are such an asset to your followers, especially in situations such as this, you are still my guru for sure honey. Take care of yourself. Jane x
Oh goodness! So sorry that happened. You are likely right that the bottom wasn't fully deglazed, as this recipe has more than enough liquid to prevent that. It may have been the seal was not tightly on either and some of the liquid escaped. But I am thrilled you managed and rescued dinner. Much love to you!
I like my Mac and Cheese more pourable so I use 3/4 cup of milk
It is always best to modify to for your own preferences.
Please remember that you have to wait until the little metal pressure piece has dropped before you open the lid. Too many people tell how to use an instant pot, but don’t include that important piece of information.
Yes, I try to really stress that in most videos. I apologize if not fully clear.
@@AMindFullMom No need for apologies… I would read online of people complaining about opening instant pots after a full release and the lids still being under pressure. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much ! Going to give this a try :) Is there a proper way to store left over spaghetti so it doesn't stick ?
Add a bit of water or broth when reheating, that will help.
had to make baked potato in oven cause using air fryer for wings.. Oven is just best choice..came out so much better then air fryer
I am actually working on a video right now side by side comparisons. Stay tuned.
Sorry, couldn’t stand the nasality, but thanks for posting.
Doesn’t sound easy to me
The easiest way couldn't be simpler!
In my case, my instant pot kept beeping and displaying LID.... everything was fine and normal.... turns out I had the inside squishing the gasket.... it has to be just barely on barely touching the gasket & a nice easy twist on. It went away. 😅
This worked fantastic! Thank you
Thank you for explaining the differences on why fairlife milk can be used differently. This video gave me the confidence to finally try the ‘yogurt’ button yesterday and I had yogurt this morning. I did 8 hours abd chilled for over 8 hours and it’s good. Thank you for sharing!!
Just came across your channel and I have the same instant pot and haven’t really cooked anything yet but now I’m definitely gonna try these because I’m a wing lover thanks again 😂
I hope you enjoy!!!
Omg this is crazy because my mom bought me the same instant pot for a housewarming gift and I really haven’t used it a lot and I came across your channel so glad that you’re using it to cook a lot of food with so that’s pretty cool gonna try some of your recipes thanks again 😂👍
I hope you find many recipes here to enjoy! Reach out with any questions.
Okay what’s the deal about still dissing msg, of course go easy on sodium but hope you realize msg has less sodium than standard b table salt and is naturally found in tomatoes and cheese and many other things
Hey there! I actually have an allergy to is, so for me it is crucial (we are talking end up in the hospital) But more often than not, when it is added to food, other additives are as well. I try to create recipes with as minimal additives as possible :)
First time use - My Instant Pot switch is in seal mode but steam keeps coming out of the vent during pressurizing mode. It’s been over an hour and the screen still says On. Now what? Defective? Return it? Now it says “Food burn.” I hate this thing!
Hmm, it sounds like it wasn't really sealed OR you didn't have enough thin liquid for it to come to pressure. Can you tell me what you were trying to cook?
you can bring it. you are a catch
Just did this with my new Instant Pot Duo. I did 2 cups rice 4 cups water. 3 mins pressure cook, high, 10 minutes sitting and released pressure. All done, super good rice.
Wonderful! Thank you!
Is there a recipe for these chocolate covered yogurt bites? Thanks.
I posted the full recipe in the description of the video :)
Very helpful because I am budgeting to purchase a new crock pot and if I can use this in the meantime it will help me so much. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
The thing that puts me off is when the breast is chewy rubbery and bland from the inside how to fix that
I am put off by that too! Oftentimes, that is caused from overcooking or really poor quality chicken. It is best to purchase an air-chilled or organic breast if you can afford it. If not, fresh is better than frozen! Use a meat mallet to pound thin and don't overcook. It will make a world of difference.
What the hell did I just watch? 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
How do you know the difference between Baby Back Ribs and Spare Ribs. I thought there were only Pork Ribs and Beef Ribs.
It should say right on the package. Baby back ribs come from the top of the rib cage, near the loin and backbone, while spare ribs come from the bottom, near the belly.
Just tried this recipe this morning and not only did it produce one of the tastiest and juciest chickens I have ever eaten but I have over 1 litre gravy from a 2kg bird, I am astounded, once again, thankyou!
Wonderful! I am so thrilled to hear you enjoyed! I just made this recipe myself today!
@@AMindFullMom It is now day 4 of the chicken and I have just had the last few slices for breakfast and it was still as juicy and tasty as the day it was made. I never craved chicken quite like this before. This will definatley be a regular from now on. 😍
@@kevinp4771 Love hearing this!
Umm no. There is no Sauce in any Mexican babacoa, the only sauce is the Salsa. Sorry but true.
You can also use the juice leftover in the bottom of the pot to make a really good gravy.
That would be delicious!
I love this recipe so much thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
