Not enough data

Too many ingredients are not matched to our nutrition table to give a fair estimate.

How we estimate: we add up the ingredients using the Kenya Food Composition Tables (2018) and USDA FoodData Central, then divide by the servings. It’s an estimate, not a measurement, and not medical advice.

1
Heat the bottom of the instant pot using saut mode. Once it has heated up, add the oil and seasonings before placing the chicken into the oil in a single layer.
2
Brown each side for 1-2 minutes to create a rich flavor and then cancel the saut mode.
3
Pour in the stock or broth and deglaze the bottom of the pan. Slide the chicken over to scape up any little browned bits on the pot as this is flavor you want. Return the chicken to a single layer.
