Yes – it is located in the recipes card.

What Brand Of Dressing Do You Recommend?

The base for this recipe is honey mustard salad dressing.  I like BRIANNA’S or Ken’s Steakhouse brand.  But any honey mustard chicken will work.  If your dressing is thick, be sure to add a bit of water to thin out the sauce for pressure cooking.

What Type Of Pressure Cooker Do You Recommend?

I love my 6qt instant pot duo.  I also own the power quick pot and love it as well.  Both are well made and cook my food perfectly.

What Do I Serve With The Chicken?

I like to serve this mean with hot cooked rice, or mashed potatoes.  My family prefers the rice a little more than the potatoes.  I also always serve it with steamed broccoli.
