Instant Pot Chicken & Vegetable Pad Thai
Instant Pot Chicken & Vegetable Pad Thai is simple weeknight meal that is ready in no time! It’s packed with tender chicken, lots of veggies, noodles, and a flavorful sauce. Pad Thai sauce is a little salty, fairly nutty, and a little sweet in flavor. I think it’s similar to peanut sauce, which tastes great on just about anything 😊 This is a one-pot meal your whole family will love! The recipe can be found here. Start by doing all your prep work. Slice the chicken, zucchini, bell pepper, etc. I like to buy matchstick carrots because they are already the needed size. I also prefer to julienne (cut super thin) my zucchini but if you have a spiralizer, that also works well. Set all the ingredients aside until ready to use. Next, make the Pad Thai sauce. In a large bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients – brown sugar, chicken broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, creamy peanut butter, … Continue reading

Instant Pot Chicken Bruschetta Pasta
Instant Pot meals are quickly becoming a favorite of mine on night we are busy and don’t have a lot of time to spend cooking but still want a nice meal. We probably use our Instant Pot more in the fall and winter than we do in the spring and summer because it’s great for warm and hearty meals. Recently we made Instant Pot Chicken Bruschetta Pasta. It was delicious! The chicken was moist and tender, the noodles were al dente (I hate when they become too soft and mushy), and the bruschetta topping added some lovely color and a bit of freshness to the dish. The flavors pair well together and left us feeling quite satisfied! The recipe can be found here. Start by preparing your ingredients – the ingredients you will be putting in the Instant Pot. Slice the chicken, mince the garlic, etc. Then, add the ingredients to the Instant Pot in the … Continue reading

Instant Pot Chicken Pad Thai
Instant Pot Chicken Pad Thai is better than takeout! I never thought I would say that about a home cooked meal, but it really is. It’s a one-pot dish that’s packed with chicken, veggies, noodles, and pad thai sauce. It’s salty and nutty with just a hint of sweetness. So, skip the takeout and give this a try! The recipe can be found here. As mentioned previously, this is a one-pot dish, so all you need is your Instant Pot, a cutting board, knife, and spoon. Start by slicing the chicken, bell peppers, and green onions. I like to buy matchstick carrots because the work is already done for me. If you can’t find matchstick carrots at the grocery store, you can slice your own. You want them to be very thin…. julienne style. Then, mince the garlic and chop the cilantro.

Flavorful and creamy Instant Pot Garlic Chicken Pasta will make weeknight cooking a breeze! It’s rich, without being too rich, easy to make, and delicious. Plus, it’s a one-pot meal because it is entirely made in the Instant Pot. That’s a win-win for dishes and cleanup if you ask me.

I think that’s something we all go through but even more so now with spending more time at home. How do you keep the meals exciting? How do you add variety to your weekly menu?
