Instant Pot Lemon Garlic Chicken

[@Babett_B]

Instant Pot owners: to brown the chicken, hit the saute button, then press it again so the display changes from "Normal" to "More". That means it sautes/browns at a higher temperature.

[@Catnip170]

Thanks for that info☺️

"Skin side down to start" and then putting them back in "skin side up" Such a small thing to say but so helpful. Thank you so much!

[@pysankar]

Just to clarify, a natural pressure release is when you allow the pressure to subside without doing anything. What he did by manually releasing the pressure is called a quick pressure release.

[@sherrismith848]

[@enissay9950]

Lol, I thought the same but I got what he meant... I think he was so hungry for such delicious meal to be ready that his brain started mixing words xD

[@Kletux9176]

But the recipe says "10 minutes natural release", go figure...

[@sdhokie]

Ah that's what that means. So let it sit when it changes to 'Keep Warm'.

[@maplejubilee]

I was just getting ready to come on here and say the same thing lol.

[@jenniferc6868]

I measured sauce after taking the chicken out, added approximately the same amount of rice and put rice and sauce back in the instant pot together to cook on the rice setting. Awesome!!!!!

[@johnnyangel64]

I followed this demo. 3-4 min. to saute garlic & onion in the instant pot = burned garlic and a quick release seizes up the meat 😝. Use a moderate saute on the onion and than add and saute garlic till fragrant. 10-15 min natural release on meat will prevent dried out meat

[@Hacker-xe8yv]

If you're using Instant Pot to brown put saute setting on "more". When you switch to onions and garlic switch saute setting to "less" - and, watch the garlic. You may want to add it toward the end of the onion saute.

One day I was cooking rice by boiling it in a pot of water. A lady from the Philippines who worked for us came into the kitchen and saw me doing that. She looked at me like I was from another planet and with a bewildered look on her face she asked "Why in the world are you not using a rice cooker to cook that rice?" I said "A rice cooker? I didn't even know there was such a thing as that." I went onto Amazon and bought an Instant Pot. Wow what a major night and day difference when it comes to cooking rice. 12 minutes and the rice is cooked. It only takes 1 cup of water. No filling up a big pot with water and having the water boil over the side of the pot. It's so easy and simple and fast. I am going to have to try this recipe one of these days. It looks good. Thanks for making the video.

[@fatenbrunei7057]

And the best thing is that you can just leave the rice to cook in the pot and it won’t burn. It has an auto off function.

[@212days]

@@fatenbrunei7057 Yeah it's a game changer as far as cooking rice goes (compared to the method of boiling water in a pot.)

[@darkreligio8128]

Imo instant pot sucks at cooking rice. I have a tiny little 2 cup rice cooker. Got it at target for like $25. You can also get them at thrift stores.

[@212days]

@@darkreligio8128 Well after cooking rice many many many times over the years using an Instant Pot I would say they are Excellent at cooking rice. Like 100% perfect. What is your reason for thinking that they suck at it?

[@benjamincsikos3461]

This one was so good it's hit our monthly freezer meal rotation. We made a batch of 33 meals in one go and this was 5 of them - with 12 thighs in each serving. We prerubbed all the thighs, then added all of the ingredients described here into the bag and (sacreligiously) froze the lot into a brick of ice that sits on the trivet. It means we skip the browning and actually do more like 40 minutes rather than 8... then hit it with the blowtorch before serving. Still an absolute winner and amazing for about 3 minutes work at dinner time. Cheers from Australia!

[@freespiritwithnature4384]

Thank you Benjamin.

[@margueritewarriner3706]

Hi I just finished making the lemon garlic chicken. Soooo good. I did change it just a bit. I added jasmine rice to the onion mix. It made a wonderfully simple dinner just added salad. Thanks I’ll be making this again and again. 😁

[@cookingwithcoit]

Those a great changes, nice job! 👏🏻

[@ncboot5014]

I LOVE Jasmine rice... awesome idea!! If you read this, please advise HOW MUCH you put in the pot for 1 or 2 people. BOY I bet that will be YUM!!! :)

[@margueritewarriner3706]

I put in 2/3 cup of rice. I add just enough broth to cover the rice. 😊

[@fatenbrunei7057]

I bought mine 2 weeks ago and cooked rice first. Came back to YT to see what else I can cook with it.

[@limpenghwee9299]

Thank you for teaching & sharing. I bought a multi-cooker & have been watching many videos. Yours is by far one of the very best! Your explanation is detailed and clear, your dish is also with sophistication (with consideration on flavour, texture etc. Quite a few videos I watched merely capitalized on the "speed" of a pressure cooker, so they simply drop everything in). I think your video value adds to a dish - not compromising on flavour yet shortens the time & effort. Much appreciated.

[@grandmam7580]

I want to thank you for this recipe. I made it tonight in my Instant Pot and we enjoyed it very much. I will be making more of your recipes for sure after trying this one out and enjoying it. I am a grandma and I know when a recipe is good or not. 🥰

[@PatH902101]

Natural Release means letting it alone, you did a Quick Release. From my personal experience, if cooking meats of any kind, allow for a natural release for at least 10 minutes sometimes up to 15 minutes, then Quick Release for any remaining pressure. Just saying, IMHO. Thanks for your Channel, it is very informative and relatable. Thank you. ☘

[@xREADxxEATxxSLEEPx]

I was just reading the Instapot Manual of my new instapot and what he did was in the instructions/info as Quick release (QR or QPR), so +1 on your comment. It might be helpful for new IP users like me :)

[@reggiedunlop2222]

I own both an Instant Pot and an air fryer. You’re correct that they both perform 2 different methods of cooking. My Instant Pot gets more use just because of its versatility. Tender juicy cuts of meat like ribs, pulled pork, chicken thighs cook up great in the Instant Pot then get crisped up in a cast iron pan or broiled in the oven after cooking. Thanks for posting.

[@robbiejacobs4379]

Just finished making and eating this. So easy to prep and cook and tasted so good, I went for seconds. One thing perhaps is add the garlic in the last third of the onion cooking stage. This will prevent any potential burning. I also crushed and chopped my garlic instead of mince to lower the risk of burn. 10/10 dish dude!

[@ACSl8terDaB-Izer]

Looks great and probably gonna try this tonight. 2 things though, 1. I believe the Natural release method isn’t the Manual Release of pressure but whatevs, 2. I usually like to grate a little additional lemon zest into almost all my lemon flavored/infused recipes to add a little extra natural lemon flavor and it feels good to use everything I have, throwing away even less. Thanks for letting me share

[@ACSl8terDaB-Izer]

To explain about the Natural and Manual Pressure release. Manual Pressure Release is literally the Manual flipping of the pressure valve. Natural Pressure Release is keeping the lid on, not touching any pressure valve, and with the heat no longer on the pressure will Naturally and Slowly release. This does cook things a little longer so isn’t used as often but there are a couple instances where you may want to cut the high heat but let things stew a little longer like in the case of….well, stew.

[@eva251025]

[@lilacjay]

Hi this looks sooo delicious, I have chicken in my fridge, guess what I am making tomorrow! I would just like to add, that Ninja and other companies, all sell appliances that do both air frying and pressure cooking in one machine, and they seem to have a good mix of sizes too. I have seen them for under 150. Pricey yes, but less expensive than buying both that you will probably want in the end anyway he he! Thanks again for the recipe.

[@vthallam]

My kids just loved it! It’s now regular at my home…

[@cookingwithcoit]

So happy to hear that!

[@alixhice]

Making this tonight. Can’t wait - but I have a couple questions… 1) Is 1/3 cup of chicken broth enough liquid? My Instant Pot requires a cup of liquid. Also, I didn’t you perform a quick release? Natural pressure release (NPR) means letting the pressure release on its own before venting. Can you clarify please?

[@rickwiles8835]

I have the same questions

[@bonniepwtf]

It was almost like he had no clue what he was doing. Acted scared when he did the quick release, so dramatic 🙄, didn't add the plate juices back, kept calling it the Instant Pot when it clearly wasn't, "lemon" looked like an orange to me, never mentioned need to deglaze the bottom of the pot after browning, didn't add enough liquid to pressure cook, etc.....I was not impressed with his presentation at all.

[@Twilyhtmist]

This is why the Instant Pot Duo was created - has an additional "air fryer top", so the pot can serve 2 purposes. FYI: I own the 8 quart Duo, so if you are cooking for a family of 4 or more, this will quickly get tedious having to air fry in batches. If its a family of 3 you still have to do 2-3 batches for the amount of food you'd need, so for 4 or more people you'd just do better to buy the Instant Pot's Air Fryer/Convection Oven if you plan on doing a LOT of air fryer stuff all at once... like, rib racks, rotisserie chicken and casserole dish sized things.

I’ve been told that it’s really important to know what size instapot a recipe is designed for. What size pot are you calibration your ingredient measures for? I’m thinking the standard 6 qt, which means if we’ve got an 8 qt, we’ve got to add some liquid so that it’ll makes enough steam, right?

[@coopheed4372]

Where can I buy the instant pot? I checked Amazon and on Google but can't find the one with brown option. Thanks

[@AB-xf9rm]

Natural pressure release is when you dont touch the valve and instead let it sit for another 8-10 minutes depressurizing. Moving the steam valve is a manual pressure relase because you, are forcing the pressure release.

[@YESTOYOURWILL]

To brown meats for my Instant Pot and not have stand there and turn and sautee in batches, i salt and pepper, put all my protein on parchment or foil lined sheet pan and broil in oven 3-4 min, turn, broil again. Boom done. If its for a stew or something i lightly dust in flour to later help thinken sauce.

pressure cooker are awesome for some stuff especially yogurt. but sure takes twice or longer time to use them by the time they build pressure and correct heat and cooking time and another 15+ minutes of release time, has pushed me over to Air fryers.
