Lemon Chicken and Potato Recipe for Instant Pot
This fragrant chicken and potato dish features the prominent taste of lemon, with a pleasantly bitter note from the pith. Sliced lemons are added to the multicooker, along with lemon juice, creating a burst of flavor. With just 20 minutes of prep time, this recipe is easy to make. We tested it in a 6-quart Instant Pot.
Storage
Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Ingredients
- Water
- Broth or wine
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Lemon juice
- Oregano
- Rosemary
- Pepper
- Salt
- Chicken
- Onion
- Lemon slices
- Potatoes
- Parsley or basil (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1: In the multicooker, combine the water, broth or wine, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, rosemary, pepper, and salt. Add the chicken and stir to coat it with the oil and herb mixture. Let it rest while you slice and chop the other ingredients.
Step 2: Add the onion and stir to combine. Arrange the lemon slices on top of the chicken, then scatter the potatoes over the lemon, making sure to leave the potatoes on top to prevent overcooking.
Step 3: Secure the lid on the pot and close the pressure valve. Select PRESSURE (HIGH) and set it to 6 minutes. It takes about 10 minutes for the appliance to come to pressure before cooking begins. Once cooking is complete, cover your hand with a towel or hot pad and release the pressure manually by moving the pressure-release handle to “Venting.” Avoid putting your hands or face near the vent when steam is being released. Let the pot sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a platter, sprinkle with parsley or basil, and serve.
