Yall, the more I use my Instant Pot, the more obsessed I become. I was using it once every couple weeks then it turned in to weekly, now I’m using it multiple times a week and I can’t get enough. It seems that everything we make in there is so good. Since I cook dinner Sunday through Thursday, I’m always looking for new meals and the Instant Pot has given me so many new options for all of our meals.
Most of the meals I make are spicy so when I find a recipe that has a bit of a kick, I’m all over it. I’ve been making honey chicken in the Instant Pot since I got it, even though it was delicious the recipe needed more flavor. After some experimenting with the ingredients I finally found the perfect combination. This is usually in our weekly rotation of meals because it is bursting with flavor and I love that it only takes 5 minutes in the Instant Pot. It doesn’t get much better than a meal that is quick and delicious.
