Source: Creme De La Crumb
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 lb baby red or gold potatoes (halve/quarter to about 1-inch pieces)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp + 2 tsp dry ranch seasoning (split use)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 tbsp grated parmesan
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or thyme
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss chicken and potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Mix garlic powder, thyme, basil, oregano, and 2 tbsp ranch seasoning. Coat chicken and potatoes with this mix.
- Pour chicken broth into the Instant Pot.
- Add chicken first, then potatoes on top.
- Seal lid and set to Pressure Cook (High):
- 15 minutes for 4 medium-large chicken breasts
- 10 minutes for smaller breasts or fewer pieces
- Quick release pressure.
- Remove chicken and potatoes with a slotted spoon (or drain liquid first).
- Sprinkle with remaining ranch seasoning (2 tsp) and parmesan.
- Garnish if desired and serve.
Notes
- Keep potato pieces around 1 inch so they finish with the chicken.
- If using thighs, the source suggests about 10-12 minutes.
