This Instant Pot Creamy Dijon Chicken recipe will become a staple for dinner time.
Hello my friends!! The lack of new recipes in the last 2 weeks was because we moved!!! Just about 7 minutes away from our last house but it is bigger, has a pool and will hopefully be our forever home. Throughout the packing and moving process, we have been eating take out and delivery for so many meals and I am starting to feel it. So this week, now that my kitchen is mostly unpacked, it’s time to get back on the healthy homemade meals train!
Starting with this super easy and tasty Instant Pot Creamy Dijon Chicken. You can serve this with any veggie or side but I loved it over a mashed potato/ cauliflower mixture. The sauce is so tasty and mixes with the mashed potatoes to create a super yummy combo you will love. Ruth even ate this, soooo winning! I can’t wait to get back in the swing of eating more veggies and less sugar because I need the energy. Ruthie is so full of life and energy and she is my main motivation for staying healthy. We went on a walk on the trail behind our new house this weekend and she loves to explore and run (while pumping her little arms). It’s way too cute!
Looks so creamy and delish right?

This was way better than my expectation. Was sooo good I wanted to drink the sauce out of the bowl after eating!! Loved it!
We love beating expectations!
Could we use regular milk vs. Coconut milk? Just have it on hand.
Yes, you should be able to use that swap!
This is a keeper. Easy ingredients but big in flavor!
Just made this for the first time and it’s INCREDIBLE. Served with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes and made mine in the slow cooker. So easy and delicious!

New fav chicken recipe. My husband doesn’t LOVE anything other than steak, and he LOVED this. Also served to babe for BLW and she shoveled it in.

So so good! I did the slow cooker version and it turned out great. This atop of a pile of mashed potatoes with a side of roasted carrots is the coziest meal!
Oh man that sounds amazing!!!
