Instant Pot Buttermilk Chicken with Leeks and Rosemary

by Kristen

When I was pregnant with my third son I made some pretty awesome buttermilk chicken recipes.   They were delicious, but they never photographed well enough to put up on the blog.   Besides, some of buttermilk chicken recipes I was a little out there.  Expecting mothers who are food bloggers can come up with some pretty creative recipes.

We eat chicken a lot, like a lot, a lot.  And I am always looking for new ways to prepare it.   I have been loving my Instant Pot lately.

So far, as of late, I have made Cider Pulled Chicken and Instant Pot Chicken Gyro Soup in my Instant Pot.  If you have not gotten one- you should 🙂

Here is a collection of all my Instant Pot recipes!

I created a little video for you on how to make this chicken.   This chicken is

Easy

Delicious

Requires very little prep time.

It’s great!

If I had one thing I would change about this recipe, it would be this.

More Leeks!

Man, I love leeks, especially when they are added to a soup or a chicken dish.  They just give the perfect flavor!  I picked these leeks out of my garden, but I wish that I had more to work with.   I topped it with some wilted spinach and rice.   I have been making a lot of wilted spinach lately, it is a great way to get more veggies in.

Doesn’t say whether to release the steam or natural release. What do you do?
