    1. I made this in my Instant Pot Lux and used the Meat/Stew (since there isn't a straight pressure cook setting) setting and it turned out great.

  1. I made this tonight, first time using my instant pot, rib sticking and delicious! Very flavorful and creamy! Great recipe.

  2. Made this and it turned out great! I added some garlic salt and onion powder to the chicken while it was sautéing, I used white rice and cream of mushroom and chicken soup…will definitely make it again, family loved it!

    1. You could use 3 and a half cups of regular chicken broth in place of the water and condensed chicken broth.
