NOTE: Our daughter is the owner of the instant pot, so this is really her recipe. I don’t have one, but I like this meal so much that I have cooked it in my cooker. Of course, it takes longer but it still is a dish that I can start in the morning and deliver at dinner after a busy day and I can use our favorite chicken and leave the bone-in and skin on. For comfort, I increase the broth to 1 cup and if I have time I will brown the chicken quickly in a skillet before adding to the cooker.
