20 Instant Pot Chicken Recipes

Disclosure: Contains affiliate link. All opinions are mine.

If you want fall-off-the-bone, amazing chicken recipes, a pressure cooker is the way to cook it. The Instant Pot is the only way I will cook whole chickens now and love how much the flavors blend together in tasty dishes. I’ve compiled 20 of my favorite Instant Pot chicken dishes with something for everyone. I’ve included Asian, Indian, Mexican and Italian inspired cuisines, as well as classic chicken dishes. Bon Appetit!

Don’t have an Instant Pot yet? I recommend the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker,6 Quart. The Instant Pot can replace several of your other kitchen appliances, including a slow cooker and rice cooker. It’s something that should be in every kitchen. I absolutely love mine and use it at least 2-3 times every week. instantpotchickenlogo
