Instant Pot Lemon Chicken
Easy and delicious dinner that will have your family asking to keep this one in the rotation. Instant Pot Lemon Chicken is simple and quick, perfect for those busy nights.
Anyone looking for an incredibly easy dinner? That’s pretty healthy for you too? And made in the Instant Pot? Oh good, you came to the right place.
This is Instant Pot Lemon Chicken and you will be super hooked. I added some pasta with a little lemon garlic sauce but you could do this alone, with rice, cauliflower rice, veggies. The chicken turns out super moist (sorry) and full of that lemon flavor.
This comes together in minutes which is a major bonus for dinner. Add this one to your easy dinner list to try. If you do, take a pic and tag #lolosdesserts. I love to see what you are making! Follow me @lolosdesserts on Instagram and Facebook.
