Notes

How to Deglaze Instant Pot

After you have cooked the onions, garlic and chicken together add about ¼ cup of water or broth. The heat will help release any stuck bits on the bottom of the pot. Use a flat wooden spoon to help lift up any stuck bits. This is how you deglaze the bottom of the pot before going under pressure.
