Instant Pot Anniversary Chicken

I came across this recipe on All Recipes. The author wrote that, “I made this chicken for 100 people at my in-laws’ 50th wedding anniversary party. Boy, was it a hit!” The original recipe is made in the oven but seeing as I don’t cook in my oven I made it into an Instant Pot/Slow Cooker recipe 😆.

I never would have thought bacon bits, teriyaki sauce and ranch dressing would taste so good together but I was wrong. It was a tasty combination! I used the pot-in-pot method to cook this recipe so I didn’t have to dilute the teriyaki sauce and ranch dressing.

I used chicken tenders which seem to come out better, in my opinion, than chicken breasts. The other choice is to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs that have been cut into pieces. Chicken thighs are always tasty in the Instant Pot and slow cooker!

For ultimate flavor you can marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for a couple hours before cooking. But if you don’t have time, don’t fret the chicken will still be tasty.

    The recipe sounds delicious and I’d love to try it. I have chicken breasts
    that are only 4 ounces each. Would I use the same pressure time and
    natural release time as your recipe?

      Yes that would work since they are so small!

Hi, I’m Karen. I know that dinner time can be less than relaxing. Busy schedules and cranky kids and a hundred other things can lead to weariness when it comes to putting dinner on the table. I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
