We loved our Instant Pot Spicy Sweet & Sour Chicken made with those frozen chicken so much that I could not WAIT to try another recipe with the other half of the bag of frozen breast! We had some potatoes to use up so I decided to try to make Pulled BBQ Chicken to top baked potatoes with.
We LOVE barbecue stuffed inside a big ol’ baked potato with all the fixin’s! It’s also great in Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, Ranch BBQ Chicken Salads, Nachos, Wraps, the possibilities are ENDLESS really! This is a must try for a quick weeknight dinner and you don’t even have to thaw the chicken! #winning
The chicken cooked up perfectly in the instant pot! We used the leftovers for our favorite BBQ nachos and we got 2 meals out of it! (EASY AND GOOD!) I am loving using frozen chicken in my instant pot and looking forward to trying so many more flavors! Have you gotten your instant pot yet? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? LOL! It is seriously my most used appliance.
