This is a great recipe if you are new to Instant Pot. It doesn’t require that many ingredients and cooks fairly quick. There is a little bit of extra time involved reducing the sauce.

If you like Asian food give this one a try, it’s really good.

4 chicken leg quarters separated legs and thighs (I purchased 1 package of legs and 1 package of thighs because they were on sale cheaper than buying the leg quarters)

This recipe looked so good and easy I had to give it a try. It requires a sauce that can be put together in just a few minutes, and there is a good chance you will have all the ingredients on hand.

The original recipe served the chicken and sauce over rice, but I decided to serve it with hash brown patties instead.

For a simple recipe it turned out super good – give this one a try.

This One Pan Roasted Chicken and Potatoes is really close to a one dish meal; just add a vegetable and supper is ready.  This recipe does take a little time to put together because of the marinating time which is at least 2 hours. I didn’t feel like dealing with it the next day so I let it marinade overnight which allowed the seasoning to blend in nicely.

If you’re looking for a hearty and delicious chicken dinner give this one a try.
