  • 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. 
    Potatoes and seasoned chicken added to instant pot.
  • 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. 
    Seasoning added to instant pot with other ingredients.
  • 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.
