INSTANT POT CHICKEN AND PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• Combine butter, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper into a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds.
• While the butter cools down, take each quarter of biscuit, and gently pull it into a circle large enough to wrap around a piece of string cheese. then close the seams and roll the dough into a ball, completely encapsulating cheese.
• Spray nonstick cooking spray into your Meal Mug.
• Take each dough ball and dip it into the melted butter mixture, then place it into the meal mug. Once the mug is full, place it into the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Check mug after 25 minutes. If the top is browning too rapidly, cover with aluminum foil for the remainder of cook time.
• Remove mug when balls on top are golden brown and butter is bubbling along the sides of the top of the mug.
• While mug cools, microwave marinara for 30 sec to 1 min. Pour the desired amount of marinara over dough balls and enjoy!

Steps:

• Pour the liquid into a Instant Pot. Position the bone-in chicken breasts in the liquid in a crisscross pattern (rather than stacking them on top of each other) so that steam can circulate among them. Sprinkle the top of each with 1 tsp dried seasoning blend and 1/4 tsp salt (if using). Lock the lid onto the pot.
• Optional 1 Max Pressure Cooker Press Pressure cook on Max pressure for 35 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off.
• Optional 2 All Pressure Cookers Press Poultry, Pressure Cook or Manual on High pressure for 40 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off. (The Valve must be closed)
• Use the quick-­release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal. Unlatch the lid and open the cooker. Insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the center of a couple of the breasts, without touching bone, to make sure their internal temperature is 165°F. The meat can be a little pink at the bone and still perfectly safe to eat, so long as its internal temperature is correct. If the internal temperature is below 165°F (or if you’re worried about the color), lock the lid back onto the pot and give the breasts 3 extra minutes at MAX, or 4 minutes at HIGH. Again, use the quick-­release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal.
• Use kitchen tongs to transfer the breasts to serving plates or a serving platter to serve. Or cool them at room temperature for 10 minutes or so, then store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
