Calling all of those who hopped on the Instant Pot train this year! Crack Chicken Sandwiches have been a favorite of my family since I made these super popular Crack Chicken Sandwiches. And, now I’m back with this Crack Chicken Instant Pot recipe. My, my, my – this Instant Pot recipe is awesome!
Crack Chicken Instant Pot Recipe
I heard a rumor that there were over a billion (yes, with a “b”) Instant Pots sold in 2017. That’s INSANITY! But, I believe it … as I was one of them. It didn’t take long for me to unpackage my newest beast of a kitchen appliance and get to cooking though. I’ll clue you that! Although we were in the middle of building a house, moving, Christmas …. and everything was slowly making it’s way in to boxes, my Instant Pot machine found it’s way out of the box and into my heart (awww!)
In all seriousness, I am a Crock Pot girl at heart though. I love, love, love Crock Pot Dinners and easy dinner ideas. They’re my jam, and if you’ve seen any of the other recipes on my site you likely know that. I already eluded to my Crack Chicken Sandwiches, but other favorite Crock Pot dinners of mine are my French Dips in the Crock Pot and my wildly popular Crockpot Philly Cheesesteaks. I even have a Slow Cooker Crack Chicken Pasta. See how crack chicken and slow cooker keep coming up???? Yep – love ’em both!
The thing about the Instant Pot is that it makes a dinner in less than an hour, whereas a Crock Pot can take 6-8 hours to cook the same meal — so you can see why there is an Instant Pot craze happening. It’s the real deal too. People rave about them. And, add this new Instant Pot recipe to the list, as this dinner, made completely in the Instant Pot is a true one pot dinner. The Instant Pot is the perfect addition to your kitchen if you run short on time in the morning and struggle with getting a crock pot meal assembled but don’t have a lot of time to whip up a filling meal after a long day either.
You can see all of the Instant Pots here. For this Instant Pot dinner idea I used my 6 Quart 7 in 1 Instant Pot. It’s perfect for my family of four.
