Tips and Tricks:
1. You can also use a whole chicken, chicken breasts or even rotisserie chicken. (See post for more details). 2. If you choose to use chicken breast, I suggest either cutting them into bite-sized cubes, or letting them cook whole. If you choose to cook them whole, remove and shred the chicken with two forks and add back into the pot.Nutrition

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!!
Otto C says
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?
Kathryn says
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!
klp says
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.
Roche Woodworth says
Thank you so much for the feedback, Diane. We’re so happy you enjoyed the recipe!
Star says
Do you add the rotisserie chicken before or after the cook time?
Roche Woodworth says
Hi, if you’re using rotisserie chicken I would add it at the end and just allow it to heat up.
Yolanda says
It was so good. Done in no time with the pressure cooker
Sanna says
What’s the protein count? 🙂
Roche Woodworth says
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.
Tina says
Looks delicious! What size can for the diced tomatoes?
Roche Woodworth says
Hi Tina, it was a 14oz can. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Yvonne says
Easy and delicious, make it almost every week!
Phil says
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.
Roche Woodworth says
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.
