Chicken and potatoes is a classic meal. This recipe made that duo even better because it is Instant Pot chicken and potatoes. The Instant Pot makes it possible to have this meal ready in 10-15 minutes. Time variation will depend on the size of chicken breasts you use.

The chicken and potatoes get coated first with some olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Then you coast them with a mixture of garlic powder, dried thyme, dried basil, and dry ranch dressing mix. This combination gives the chicken and potatoes great flavor.

Next step is to add some chicken broth into the Instant Pot.

This is followed by adding in the chicken breast then placing the potatoes on top of the chicken breasts. Then it is time to cook for the 10-15 minutes on high pressure.

Once the cooking is complete you remove the chicken and potatoes from the Instant Pot with a slotted spoon. Before serving you sprinkle it all with the remaining ranch dressing mix and parmesan cheese.

Now for the potatoes, I used fingerling potatoes. There was a combo at the store that included purple fingerling potatoes. I loved them both. However, my husband and daughter did not like the flavor of the purple potatoes. Mini red or Yukon gold potatoes will also work.

This isn’t per say a WW recipe but it does work for my weight loss plan. For me it was a total of 8 personal points for me. This could even be less if potatoes are a 0 point food for you on your personal points. The chicken is so flavorful. You are gonna love this meal.
