Love In An Instant {Pot}

You know those days where you have the BEST intentions…

But somehow you find yourself falling short?

Thursday was one of those days….

As I was gathering all of the ingredients to make our dinner…Chicken Bacon Ranch Taquitos to be exact…I realized I was missing something important…

THE CHICKEN! I forgot to put the blasted chicken in the crock pot earlier in the day so it would be ready to shred for dinner! >>Insert favorite curse word here!<<

What was I going to do? The kids were HANGRY & frankly so was I…and our chicken breasts were FROZEN! Solid as a rock!

Luckily I had a little trick up my sleeve! Instant Pot to the RESCUE!

You see this Christmas my mom sent us an Instant Pot and I wasn’t exactly sure WHAT I was going to use it for…but I had heard amazing things.

So, I put all my faith and trust into that little pot. I threw in the chicken breasts, some water, hit the poultry button, and said a little prayer.

If that didn’t work it was going to be a PB&J kinda night…

But to my surprise 20 minutes later our once FROZEN chicken was cooked & ready to SHRED!

Meet your NEW best friend! Sorry Crock Pot…it’s been REAL!
