Instant Pot Chicken Yum Yum over Easy Roasted Vegetables

Two seriously tasty recipes with this meal! The Chicken Yum Yum truly turned out absolutely yum yum, and the Easy Roasted Vegetables is the most simple and tasty way to make your next side of vegetables. All you need to do for the chicken is mix the ingredients together, throw in the Instant Pot, then saute the sauce down when done. Love those easy one pot meals! I used Primal Kitchen Organic Unsweetened Ketchup, which I found at Wegman's for like $4.99. You can check out their store locator to find a location near you that sells this ketchup. You can also make your own homemade one, or just check out your local grocery store and find a higher quality ketchup (check out the ingredients and look for one with only whole food ingredients, and no added sugar if possible). I used a little less ghee and honey then the recipe calls for and thought the chicken still turned out pretty sweet and delicious, so don't be afraid to adjust those ingredients as well if you prefer. For the roasted vegetables you can adjust and use whatever vegetables you want. I used tri-colored carrots, a red onion, and shaved brussels sprouts. I also used 4 tsp of Herbs de Provence from Trader Joe's, instead of the rosemary, thyme, and basil since I did not have all of those spices in the pantry. Just throwing that note out as an option for others, plus it's totally worth getting that Herbs de Provence for this reason. Once your vegetables are cut, throw everything on a sheet pan with some olive oil and those spices listed, and just remember to flip halfway through baking. This was a very simple and easy way to quickly roast and make a delicious side dish of vegetables for any meal. From someone who usually roasts vegetables with just some sea salt and olive oil, this was a great reminder that I can easily (literally) spice it up from time-to-time. Overall, this meal was sweet, savory, and comforting. I will definitely be throwing both recipes into the meal prep rotation going forward! 

Instant Pot Chicken Yum Yum
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs (frozen or fresh)
  • 3 tablespoons homemade or high quality store-bought ketchup (I used Primal Kitchen Organic Unsweetened Ketchup)
  • 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder (or minced)
  • 1/4 cup ghee
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons gluten free organic tamari or 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup local honey
Directions:
  1. Place all ingredients in your Instant Pot
  2. Stir to combine and coat the chicken
  3. Secure the lid, close the pressure valve and press “Manual”
  4. If using frozen chicken, press the “+” button until 40 is displayed
  5. If using fresh chicken, press the “-” button until 18 minutes is displayed (this could vary slightly)
  6. Allow the chicken to cook then quick release the pressure valve once complete
  7. Remove the lid when safe to do so and shred the chicken slightly with two forks (this is a suggestion not a requirement)
  8. Now remove the chicken from the stainless steel basin and press the “Cancel” button followed by pressing the “Saute” button
  9. Allow the sauce to reduce by allowing it to saute for 5 minutes
  10. Serve over vegetable of your choice, we ate ours on roasted cauliflower. Or if you can eat rice, do it up starchy style!

Easy Roasted Vegetables
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (you may need a bit more)
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1 - 1-1/2 inch chunks
  • 1/2 pound (about 1-1/2 cups) large Brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed and halved
  • 1 pound (about 4-1/2 cups) baby red potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 large red onion, halved and cut into thick 1-inch pieces
  • 1 pound (about 1-1/4 cup) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 3/4 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 tablespoon dried crushed rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Freshly cracked pepper and sea salt
  • Optional: fresh herbs (such as thyme or parsley) to garnish with
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grab a large (11x17-inch) or 2 smaller sheet pans and set aside. Prepare the veggies: peel the carrots and cut into large chunks (if they are thick do 1 inch chunks if they are thinner do 1-1/2 inch chunks), remove the outer leaves of the brussels and halve them, halve the baby red potatoes (quarter especially large ones), halve the red onion and cut into thick 1-inch pieces, peel the sweet potato(s) and cut into large 1-1/2 inch chunks/slices.
  2. Place all the prepared vegetables in one even layer (do NOT overlap or you'll steam the veggies instead of roasting them) on the prepared baking sheet(s) and add the oregano, rosemary, thyme, and basil. Add salt and pepper to taste (I add about 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and about 3/4 teaspoon pepper). Add the olive oil and toss well, evenly coating all the vegetables with the seasonings and oil. (Add 1-2 more tablespoons of oil if the vegetables seem dry.)
  3. Place on middle rack in oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping the veggies 20 minutes into baking time.
  4. Remove from the oven and enjoy immediately.
