Notes

Tips

Your chicken should be cut into ½-inch chunks for even cooking and easy eating.
Slice your sausage into ¼-inch-thick slices for even cooking and easy eating.
Liberally spray the interior of your Instant Pot with nonstick spray to prevent burning.
Stir the meat constantly to prevent burning.
Be careful when quick-releasing the steam. Don't get close to the vent!
