This Instant Pot Creamy Rosemary Lemon Chicken is the answer to cure boring chicken syndrome. Totally just made boring chicken syndrome up, but if you eat chicken as much as I do, you need a little something-something to liven it up!
This post is in partnership with Bare Bones.
Your boring chicken days are LONG gone. Seriously. I eat chicken almost every single day and some days I have to get really creative. Luckily for me, Bare Bones challenged me to create a recipe around their Rosemary Lemon Chicken Bone Both and I knew I wanted to create something that was comforting and cozy.
First, let’s chat a little more about Bare Bones Rosemary Lemon Chicken Bone Broth.
- We all know bone broth has so many health benefits. Bare Bones shares a great list here.
- Bone broth doesn’t have to be just for soups and sipping. This flavor will enhance any dish. Cook your rice in it next time and thank me later.
- Rosemary and lemon are a match made in heaven. I feel like they are the ultimate classic, cozy, comforting flavor combo.
- Bare Bones packs their bone broth with so much flavor and nutritionally dense ingredients, so you won’t even notice you’re sipping on some liquid gold goodness.
Okay, now back to this Instant Pot Creamy Rosemary Lemon Chicken. A few key things:
- Chicken thighs are best but if you must, you can use chicken breasts. You’ll probably have to adjust the cooking time because you don’t want to overcook it.
- You can also use boneless skinless chicken thighs, but the skin has so much flavor and it’s the best part.
- I only used 1/2 tsp of arrowroot flour to thicken up the sauce, but you can use more if you want it super creamy and thick.
- I love serving this with mashed potatoes or cauliflower mash and roasted broccoli. SO good.
- Yes, it’s meal prep friendly!
I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I do! Be sure to let me know how you serve it.
