Instant Pot Chicken and Potatoes with Green Beans is a complete meal in minutes. It is loaded with flavor, comforting, and delicious. Try it for your next meal!
Y’all! I may be late to the Instant Pot team, but when I tell you I’m glad that I am here. I’m so glad I made the decision to purchase one and begin using it. It truly saves me so much time in the kitchen.
When it comes to cooking in the pressure cooker, I do not want to pull out anything else. No other pots or pans. Everything in the Instant Pot. All the ingredients!
This leads me to the recipe that I will be sharing with you today. It has become a new favorite and I have made it every week for the past month. It is chicken and potatoes with green beans. So delicious and worth giving a try.
What ingredients are needed for this dinner recipe?
- Chicken
- Potatoes
- Green beans
- Ranch seasoning mix

Place the seasoned chicken at the bottom of the pressure cooker on one side.

Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix on top of everything in the instant pot.
Place the top on the instant pot. Making sure the steam release valve is set to sealing and not venting. Cook using the manual setting. Press the Manual button on the Instant Pot. Set the cook time for five minutes. Allow the instant pot to naturally release for five minutes when the time is up.

Tips for making the best instant pot chicken and potatoes with green beans:

January 3, 2020 at 4:04 PMI just got my IP. What is the manual setting? I want to make sure I cook it right!
LaKita
January 4, 2020 at 2:57 PMHi Lisa! There should be a button on your Instant Pot that says Manual, use that one and adjust the time.
Sam
January 6, 2020 at 6:57 PMWhat Temperature are we cooking this at? Is it steam as well for the instant pot? I cooked mine for 10 minutes, yet it came out undone, so I put it down again for another 20 minutes. Its just about done now, but I followed this recipe, and it is definitely taking longer than the time recommended for this recipe.
LaKita
January 7, 2020 at 11:35 AMHi Sam! I’m not sure what happened. I make this recipe weekly with no problem. I am using this Instant Pot https://amzn.to/2FrWmu7 and I press the Manual button and set the cook time (timer) for 5 minutes. I’ve never used the steam button for this recipe and I do not use any function that requires a set temperature for this recipe.

January 10, 2020 at 12:43 PMDo the green beans overcook?
LaKita
January 10, 2020 at 2:09 PMHi Donna! No, I haven’t had that be a problem. I use fresh green beans only.

January 10, 2020 at 10:11 PMWhen pressing manual do you select low or high pressure?
LaKita
January 12, 2020 at 9:26 AMHi Chris! On my Instant Pot it sets the pressure automatically, but I would select Normal pressure. For reference, this is the model that I use: https://amzn.to/36YjagQ
