    This couldn’t have been simpler, and it just bursted with flavor! I used boneless thighs. My family will be enjoying this recipe often! Thanks for sharing it!!

    Delicious! My wife and I just had bariatric surgery in October, and th calories per serving, is was a tasty dinner treat – even though we can only eat two ounces (a quarter cup) at a time.

    Speaking of which –

    Regarding the nutritional content – what is the serving size? And it’s 149 calories per serving, correct?

  3. Hi! Do you think I’d have to change the recipe if I used frozen chicken thighs? (Boneless/skinless).
    Would the veggies get too mushy?
    Thank you!

  4. Is it a 30 minute or a 45 minute cook time. It says 45 in the recipe but 30 in the photo and 30
    in your explanation at the top:
    30 minutes in the instant pot. Minimal cleanup.

    This was awesome. I’ve tried several with more ingredients and spices, which are usually too spicy. this worked great for me. low calories and delicious. Thank you. It will be a regular in my house.

    1. Hi, if you’re using rotisserie chicken I would add it at the end and just allow it to heat up.

    1. Hi! I’ve fixed the recipe card, not quite sure why the protein count wasn’t showing! It’s 12g of protein per serving. Hope that helps.

  6. Where is the carb count?? This does NOT appear to be keto-friendly due to 1) carrots, 2) canned tomatoes, possibly the onions. Misleading at best.

    1. Hello Phil! The Carb count is 5.2g per serving, and 3.8g if you’re counting Net Carbs. It is visible at the very bottom of the recipe card. If that does not fit in your diet, then this recipe is not for you. It sure fits into other people’s diet, so we are definitely not in the business of misleading. Hope that answers your question.
