Instant Pot Chicken Tacos (Chili Lime) with Mango Salsa | Mel’s Kitchen Cafe

, , , , ,

Instant Pot Chicken Tacos (Chili Lime flavored) with Mango Salsa!

Light and healthy and full of fresh, yummy flavors (that mango salsa just slays me), this chili lime chicken number is such a winner.

The chicken can be pressure cooked… in an InstantPot, add the chicken and marinade ingredients plus 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water –> 7 minutes… Let the chicken rest for 5 or so minutes before slicing into strips or shredding.

As much as I love food and variety, this meal totally fits into the category of “I could eat this every night and be exceptionally happy.”

instant pot honey garlic chicken

Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken | Family Fresh Meals

, , , ,

Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken is a Chinese-style dish bursting with honey-garlic flavor. And because you make it in the Instant Pot, it’s also really quick to make.

Step one, mix up the sauce, pour it over the meat, and cook for 20 minutes. Step two, take out the meat and thicken the sauce. And step three, cut up the meat and toss it with the sauce. Boom, done. Served over rice with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and green onions, it’s a super-flavorful Chinese meal that takes less time than ordering takeout.

instant pot mongolian drumsticks

Instant Pot Mongolian Drumsticks | Sweet & Savory Meals

, , , , , ,

Instant Pot Mongolian Drumsticks are the perfect budget-friendly dinner, that is also very easy to make and delicious. I love to prep ahead this meal and freeze it.

I make the sauce and add everything to a freezer friendly ziplock bag and when I know I want to make it for dinner, I transfer the bag from the freezer to the fridge in the morning to thaw. By the time I get home from work, all I have to do is add the marinated Instant Pot Mongolian Drumsticks to the pot and cook.

For a delicious crispy outside, I cook the drumsticks under the broiler for a few minutes. Served with the sweet and sticky Mongolian sauce, this dinner is bound to be a success.

Instant pot pasta

Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Pasta | Sweet and Savory Meals

Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Pasta is another delicious pasta meal that you can make entirely using your Instant Pot. This one-pot dish has all the amazing chicken pot pie flavors, without all the hard work. The pasta replaces the pie crust and it’s coated in the most amazing, creamy sauce.

The chicken is tender and juicy, while the veggies are crunchy and chewy. This dish is so easy to make in the Instant Pot, way easier than the skillet version and I am not even talking about the baked pie version.

chicken tenderloins cooked IP

Instant Pot Chicken Tenderloins | Food Under Pressure

, , , ,

I am a big fan of Chicken Tenderloins, but it can be pretty easy to overcook them. You don’t want to do that – Chicken Tenderloins ain’t cheap, and overcooked means rubbery chicken (no, thanks!). I was a little hesitant to try for Instant Pot Chicken Tenderloins.
 
With the high pressure of the Instant Pot, I thought it might just be too much. I decided to just go for it.
 
Low and behold! Instant Pot WIN – again – in 10 minutes!
 

Ingredients

1-2 lbs chicken tenderloins

1 cup water

Seasonings of choice – enough to season liberally

Directions

Place the rack that came with the Instant Pot, or a rack of your choice, over the liquid. Place chicken on rack, then season liberally.

I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and sprigs of fresh thyme. Thyme is perfect for chicken!

chicken tenderloins IP

Close the lid of your Instant Pot, and turn vent knob to “Sealing”. Press “manual” button, then set time using “+/- buttons to 6 minutes.

When cook time is complete, quickly release pressure (QPR) by turning vent knob from “Sealing” to “Venting”.

Open the lid of your IP, and behold the easiest chicken tenderloins EVER!

I am Italian and I LOVE me some pasta.

Recently, I had to nix dairy from my diet (nursing a dairy intolerant infant problems…). One of my first thoughts: “Oh my Gosh, how will I live without pizza and pasta”, because naturally you put cheese on both of those, right?!

Well, of course you can make pasta without cheese (sigh), but pizza and I are still separated at the moment.

food under pressure

Anyhow, you can definitely create some tasty pasta dishes without cheese, including this Instant Pot Chicken Artichoke Pasta with Tomatoes.

This pasta dish is FAST & EASY – and my favorite part, it is a total ONE POT MEAL!

The less dishes, the better, right?

Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice | Food Under Pressure

, , , , ,

This ONE POT wonder, Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice, is made right in my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. It’s FAST; faster than ordering and picking up that Chinese takeout! Best of all, it’s delicious – all that salty, savory, satisfying Umami goodness you hope for in Chinese style food.

I am all for convenience nowadays. I have a newborn boy who loves Mommy’s attention, a 7 1/2 going on 13-year-old stepdaughter, a hubby whom when he’s hungry wants to eat NOW, not a few minutes from now.

It’s easy to mentally resort to considering take out or delivery these days, but meals like this keep me WILLING and able to make a home cooked meal for my family.

I prefer to serve in bowls, and garnish as desired.

Ginger, extra soy sauce and wasabi would be great as well, based on your preference.
