Does it matter which pressure cooker I use?
The short answer is yes and no. If you are following this recipe, you will want to use an Instant Pot, as that is the cooking time that has been tested for these ingredients. If you are opting to use a different brand of pressure cooker, ensure that you check the required cooking time for both frozen and thawed variations of chicken.
I am adding this to our favorite Easy Family-Friendly recipes which include Instant Pot Leftover Turkey Bone Broth and California Pizza Kitchen Pizza.
Making recipes at home is a great way to get the rich restaurant flavor without spending a ton of money.
