Equipment

1 Pressure Cooker (Instant Pot)

Ingredients

1 cup water
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, cut into smaller pieces
12 ounces bag fresh green beans
1 1 oz. packet ranch seasoning mix (not the dip packet)

Instructions

Begin the easy recipe by placing the trivet at the bottom of the electric pressure cooker and adding 1 cup of water. Season the 1 ½ pounds of chicken evenly with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Place the seasoned chicken at the bottom of the pressure cooker on one side.
Place the 1 ½ pounds cut potatoes on the other side, opposite side of the chicken.
Top with 12 ounces fresh green beans. The green beans may be placed in a steamer basket as well for easier removal. Just be sure to divide the ranch seasoning mix between the ingredients in the basket and the inner pot.
Evenly sprinkle the 1 ounce packet ranch seasoning mix on top of all of the ingredients in the inner pot.
Put the top on the instant pot. Double check to make sure the quick release valve is set to sealing and not venting. Cook using the manual setting or pressure cook option. Press the Manual button or Pressure Cook button on the Instant Pot. Set the cooking time to five minutes. Allow the instant pot to naturally release for five minutes when the cook time is up.
*If your Instant Pot or pressure cooker has a low or high-pressure setting, use the high-pressure setting or manual high pressure option for this recipe.
Using the handles of the trivet or tongs, carefully remove and separate/serve the chicken, potatoes, and green beans. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Place the trivet in the bottom of the pressure cooker before adding any ingredients
May use any kind of potatoes. I’ve also cut 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 the boneless chicken breasts for boneless chicken thighs.
This recipe could also be completed in a slow cooker using the same process. Just cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 4 hours, depending on your slow cooker.
