Notes

Make this with any of your favorite chicken cuts!

Sub fresh for dried herbs: If you're using fresh instead of dried, you need to 3x the amount and if you're using dried instead of fresh, you need to use 1/3 the amount.

Cook in Instant Pot: Set Instant Pot to pressure cook. Cook for 10 minutes.
