There are some days where I want someone else, or something else, to make my dinner. That’s when I pull out my Instant Pot.
Sure there’s still some prep work needed, but for the most part and with most Instant Pot designed recipes, this little appliance does it all for you.
I’ve posted this before and will say it again if you don’t have an Instant Pot, you have no idea what you are missing.
Enough talk about the Instant Pot. Let’s talk about this absolutely fabulous Lemon Rosemary Chicken and Potatoes recipe designed for the Instant Pot.
My mom was visiting and she has been on the fence about buying one for herself. I showed her a list of Instant Pot friendly recipes and asked her to pick one out. Guess What? This was the recipe she chose.
While this Instant Pot Lemon Rosemary Chicken and Potatoes recipe is not the most complicated recipe to make in the Instant Pot, it’s not the easiest either.
This means it’s a little more involved than throwing a bunch of ingredients in the pot and pushing a button. But still very simple for a seasoned Instant Pot user.
An alternative to using chicken broth is Better Than Bouillon. I often use it when I don’t have broth on hand.
