Instant Pot Lemon Chicken

May 22, 2020 by Anna 13 Comments

This Instant Pot Lemon Chicken is an easy and affordable weeknight dinner made with chicken thighs, lemon and garlic. The chicken is juicy and flavorful and the whole dish is done in under 30 minutes!

I serve it with mashed potatoes because the gravy is absolutely delicious. You can also make quick Instant Pot Green Beans to serve on the side.

One of the most affordable cuts of chicken and one of the easiest to cook are thighs. They are more flavorful than chicken breast and easier to remain juicy once cooked. This Instant Pot Lemon Chicken is a perfect way to use them and make an easy dish that is bursting with flavor. After browning the thighs on both sides, you cook them in the pressure cooker for 7 minutes. The gravy is a delicious bonus too! Just add cornstarch to thicken it and pour over each chicken thigh when serving.

This Garlic Butter Shrimp with lemon is one of the easiest and fastest seafood dinners you can make. Serve it with pasta or rice and steamed vegetables.

If you are a fan of easy seafood recipes, you will also love the Tuscan Shrimp and my Baked Teriyaki Salmon recipes.

When you need a quick and easy dinner, shrimp is the way to go. It’s cooks really fast and is very versatile. This recipe calls for quick sear of the shrimp in a skillet and then simmering it in garlicky butter. It’s bursting with flavor! A splash of fresh lemon juice brightens the dish. It’s perfect at any time of the year, but especially during Spring. I serve it with asparagus that was quickly steamed in the microwave. You can also serve it with steamed broccoli, as it pairs very well with the same flavors.
