I don’t have an Instant Pot! How would I do this in a crock pot, and would the ingredients be the same?
ANNETTE PETERSON says
3 Boneless, Skinless Chicken – What? Thighs, Breasts, Whole Chickens? Please be more specific.
Carrie says
I’m sorry about that. It’s boneless skinless chicken breasts. I have updated the recipe and the post. Thank you.
Carrie says
The ingredients would be the same and I would cook on low for 7-8 hours. Thank you.
mike says
is it possible to double the recipe? would you just have to double the cooking time? how would that work?
Carrie says
Mike – You can double the recipe and you would not need to change the cooking time. It would stay the same. You would just want to make sure that you do not exceed the fill line in the instant pot with your ingredients and you should be good to go.
