Wine Braised Chicken Stew in the Instant Pot
Today’s recipe is my very own chicken version of a beef stew. And, if like many of us, you’re cutting back on eating red meat this is a fantastic alternative. I really like making stews because you can prepare them ahead of time. This makes them a great choice for weeknight family dinners. Or make yourself a batch to take for work lunches! The only downside to stews is that the cooking time is usually several hours. The flavours need time, to simmer and meld into a beautiful rich sauce. But what if you don’t have that kinda time? Instant Pot to the rescue once again. I’ve been experimenting and…

Instant Pot Chicken + Lime Soup with Rice
Time for a delicious new recipe…. And it’s just gotta be soup! This cold snap we’ve been enduring, along with its generous dumping of the beautiful but dreaded white stuff has me craving comfort food. No Surprise. When the weather is screeching winter at me and I’d rather stay in bed, soup is the one dish that I don’t mind making the effort for. This one is fantastic. It’s actually a meal in a bowl, which right there is a winner in my books. You really don’t need to serve anything else with this. It’s got enough going on that it will leave your belly feeling happy and satisfied. And…

Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Tacos
We love taco night over here! It makes for a great family meal because each person gets to build their own tacos with whatever toppings they love best. And that makes everyone happy…even the picky ones. In the past ground beef was our go-to taco filling. We made them just about every week and the girls looked forward to them. But now everyone’s all grown up, and it’s usually just 3 of us having dinner together. And, we’ve really cut back on the beef eating these days, so I needed to come up with a good chicken alternative. I found one… Shredded chicken tacos for the win! As always, when…

Lemon + Thyme Instant Pot Chicken
Today I’m sharing a favourite family recipe that I’ve recently revamped for the Instant Pot. I really love the flavours of this dish. Lemon + thyme are a classic combo with chicken. The best part of this dish is the sauce! It’s not a cream sauce as you might expect, but it’s sooooo yummy! Serve this chicken over pasta or rice, or with a side of mashed potatoes so you have a great excuse to pour more of the sauce over your food. Trust me, you’re gonna wanna! Enjoy…stay safe…stay home! This surreal life we are all living shall pass. LEMON + THYME INSTANT POT CHICKEN

Instant Pot Crack Chicken Sandwiches
If you’ve been looking up recipes on Pinterest then you’re likely to have come across “Crack Chicken”. It pops up often on searches and lures you in with promises of a cheesy, chicken and bacon meal that’s as addictive as “crack”….hmm well ok I like the cheesy chicken part anyways…yummy! Recently several friends gave the Instant Pot version of this dish a try, but sadly and surprisingly might I add, all of them reported back that they were quite disappointed with the results. “Meh…blah… lacking flavour…a big watery mess!” Not so yummy after all. And so, I was urged to give it a test run and come up with a…

Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta With Mushroom + Sun Dried Tomato
One pot cooking is the reason so many of us are loving our Instant Pots. Today’s recipe is the perfect example of how to pull that off. Our colleague and friend Christina suggested this one and I have to tell you that as soon as she started describing it I knew it was a recipe I absolutely had to try. Creamy pasta with chicken, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes….yes please! It’s the kind of recipe that is perfectly suited for pressure cooking actually, so I was pretty confident the results would be good. She had come across the recipe on Pinterest, but we couldn’t pinpoint the exact one she used.…
