- If using rotisserie chicken, skip pressure cooking the chicken. Just cook the potatoes, then stir the chicken in at the end with the creamy ingredients.
- This recipe is gluten free.
- To make this recipe low carb leave out the potatoes and double the chicken.
- I used my 4 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3, 6 or 8 quart pot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This can be frozen, but the texture may change slightly because of the dairy.
- Other recipes you can make with green onions are Dixieland Skillet and That Casserole.
