Can I use different vegetables?

Yes. You can switch out the carrots and broccoli for other hearty vegetables. Here are some other vegetables you could try:

• Sweet potato
• butternut squash
• cauliflower
• zucchini

Does the broccoli get too soft?

The broccoli does get very soft when cooking alongside the chicken in this recipe. However, we like the way it turns out because it melds into the other flavors of chicken, carrot, and potato. If you prefer a less cooked broccoli, you could mix it in at the end and let it cook on sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs?

Yes, chicken breasts can be used in place of chicken thighs in this recipe. If you have not cooked with chicken thighs before, I do encourage you to try it as they have a slightly higher fat content that keeps them juicy. Either way, make sure your chicken is boneless for this recipe.

What to serve with instant pot chicken and vegetables?

Instant pot chicken and vegetables is really a one pot meal because it has protein, veggies, and starch all together! If you do want to make something extra, try cauliflower rice or 30 minute dinner rolls.

You could also just make dessert to follow. We recommend instant pot pineapple upside down cake.
