Instant Pot Forgotten Chicken
This is one of those recipes that doesn’t look all that appealing but it tastes really good! It’s called forgotten chicken because it’s a recipe that you can throw into your pot, walk away and come back whenever you are ready. It stays delicious for up to 2-3 hours on the warm setting. You can just “fuhgeddaboudit.”

Notes and Tips
- This recipe makes 4 servings. You can easily double the recipe. Keep the same cooking time.
- This recipe tastes great with rotisserie chicken.
- I like to buy Better than Bouillon at Costco in the big jars. I use it so much in the Instant Pot. It really adds a lot of flavor to so many dishes. If you don’t have the chicken base you can try using bouillon cubes/granules. They seem to be more strong and salty so I would only use 1 or 2 cubes or teaspoons.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. You can also make this in your 3, 4 or 8 quart pot.
