    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.

    Tips for Making the Best Instant Pot Chicken and Potatoes with Green Beans:

    • Place the trivet in the bottom of the instant pot before adding any ingredients
    • May use any kind of potatoes. I’ve also chopped russet potatoes into small pieces and used them as well. 
    • Season the chicken with salt and pepper or a little of the ranch seasoning mix. 
    • May substitute chicken breast for chicken thighs. 
    • The same recipe can be completed in a slow cooker using the same process. Cook on low 6 to 8 hours or high 4 hours, depending on your slow cooker.

        Hi Mai! I've never added rice to this recipe so I'm not sure how it would work.

      I tried this recipe today and it was perfect. I used chicken wings since I didn't have chicken breasts. I also used new potatoes and 2 bags of frozen green beans. I set pressure cooker for 6 minutes and did pressure release after 5 minutes and it was delicious. Thanks for and easy one pot meal.

      I am using cubed chicken. If I use the trivet the chicken falls through. Can I use the steamer basket (It's solid on the sides and woven on the bottom) and get the same results in the same amount of time?

        I haven't tried it but it should work with the steamer basket just fine.

      I love this! So easy and yummy. Some days I already have a main dish and just want the green beans and potatoes as a side, would the cook time be the same?

        Hi Teresa! Yes, the cook time should be the same because the potatoes take the longest. Hope this helps.

      This recipe looks great! I'm planning to make it this week and was wondering about the potatoes. The recipe says 6 medium but it looks like new potatoes are used in the pictures. How many (or what weight) of new potatoes would you use?

        Hi Lindsay! I have tried it with all kinds of potatoes but if using the new potatoes, use 1 to 1.5 pounds. Hope this helps 🙂

      Hi! I make this in the oven all the time, can't wait to try in the instantpot tonight! I use frozen green beans typically - do you think that's fine?

      Thanks in advance!

      Can this be made just as well with drumsticks and thighs (skin on, bone in)? If so, would it be the same cook time? Thanks in advance!

        Hi Margaret! I have never tried making this recipe with drumsticks, but I have made it with boneless (skin on and skin off) chicken thighs with no problem. Hope this helps.
