Ingredients

Notes

  • Instant Pot Instructions: Increase the chicken broth to 1 full cup, then combine everything in the Instant Pot, seal the lid, and cook on high pressure for 14 minutes for fresh chicken, or 18 minutes if using frozen chicken breasts. Do a natural pressure release for 10 minutes before venting any remaining pressure, then remove the lid, shred the chicken and stir.
  • Sun-dried Tomato Basil: Add in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil in the last 30 minutes for a Tuscan flavor similar to one of our favorites, Marry Me Chicken.
  • Spinach Artichoke: Stir in chopped spinach, diced roasted red peppers, and drained artichoke hearts for more veggies and a different flavor profile.
  • Pesto: Try mixing in ¼ cup of your favorite pesto sauce then tossing everything with some cooked pasta.
  • Cajun: Go Cajun by swapping out the Italian seasoning packet with 2-3 Tablespoons of your favorite Cajun seasoning.
  • Parmesan Garlic: Mix in ½ cup to 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 3-4 minced garlic cloves for more of a cheesy, garlicky flavor.
