The original recipe for Chicken & Gnocchi Soup, posted right here a couple of years ago, calls for chicken breast from a rotisserie chicken. The Instant Pot eliminates the need for that extra expense, because it cooks the chicken right in the broth pretty quickly, however, you can still use a rotisserie chicken if you prefer! Just skip the “cook for 30 minutes on Poultry setting” step. 

If you haven’t joined the Instant Pot craze yet, what are you waiting for? This little gadget is such a timesaver. We make baked potatoes in it at least once a week, and it takes just ten minutes! Macaroni and cheese from scratch in the same time it would take you to make the boxed kind. And so much better! If you’re on the fence, let me push you right off so you can join the madness.

Worth every cent – I use mine almost every day! Occasionally I’ve had a total FAIL, so it’s not always foolproof! I will continue to share great recipes as I find them/create them. Enjoy!
