Instant Pot Garlic Herb Chicken Recipe

1. Toss chicken with olive oil and seasoning. Place chicken in Instant Pot insert, top with water. Twist lid to seal.
2. Select MANUAL function and set timer to 12 minutes. Allow to naturally depressurize for 5 minutes, then carefully use quick release. (For a crockpot, cook about 4-5 hours on low until tender.)

Batch Cooking:
We’ve done the planning for you in the form of one grocery list and four recipes. This is batch cooking at its finest. Start with one large batch of Garlic Herb Chicken made via Crockpot or Instant Pot, and then use portions of that delicious chicken in the next three recipes, Garlic Veggie Noodles with Chicken, Curry Mango Chicken Salad and Chicken Ranch Stuffed Peppers. Altogether, we’re talking one afternoon or morning in the kitchen and three meals (plus leftovers!) that will feed a family of four prepared as a result.
