Easy chicken and quinoa recipe for the Instant Pot! A healthy and balanced dinner perfect for any night of the week.
When I whipped this Instant Pot recipe together, my husband said:
Oh my gosh, Linds, this could be served at a restaurant!
Now, my husband is notorious for declaring everything as being the “best ______ I’ve ever ate,” but I had to agree, this WAS good.
And the best part?! IT’S SO EASY!!
An (almost) dump-and-go Instant Pot recipe.
Chicken and quinoa in the Instant Pot makes for such an easy meal.
It’s not totally a dump and go recipe, since you can’t cook the quinoa at the same time. But this recipe only uses the Instant Pot, so there’s only one bowl to clean.
Dump everything except for the quinoa in, set the pressure cooker, and walk away. When it’s done, set it to saute and add the quinoa.
Easy recipe change-ups
I love recipes that can be changed easily, so it feels like a “new” meal, but really it’s the same recipe!
You can easily change the toppings to give different flavor combinations, or you can use a different salsa to change it up. Sometimes we use a pineapple salsa, and other times we go for something more spicy. It gives the recipe a totally new feel!
