Delicious!! What prompted me to try it was I had all the ingredients on hand and it was not going to take much preparation. I was pleasantly surprised. A keeper for sure!
Cathy says
I made this today and it was delicious!! Kids loved it (we did green beans with it),tomorrow we will try the leftovers in tacos.
I left it with NPR for about 25 minutes since I was busy in the kitchen. The chicken was moist and was braking easily for shredding! Best consistency of chicken I had out of the instapot yet.
We will make it again!!
