Instant Pot Lemon Mustard Chicken with Potatoes

This recipe is brought to you by limoneira lemons.

Chicken is my go-to. I think I learned this from my mother-in-law a long time ago. As a newlywed, I went shopping with her and watched her feed five growing, and hungry boys on a budget most would say nothing. Her staple was chicken–that woman had a thousand instapot recipes for the poultry, and they were all good.

My kiddos get bored easily if we simply grill the chicken. A few nights of barbecue and they’re trying to find a friend who has an open spot at the dinner table.

Since I received my Instant Pot, chicken has suddenly become interesting.

When I received Limoneira lemons, they were beautiful; they were fragrant, and I started baking a Lemon Berry Bread. From there I decided to make Lemon Chicken in the Instant Pot.

The Lemon Chicken was started after the bread went into the oven and in 15 minutes the chicken was done.

The chicken was cooked to perfection, juicy and moist. The seasonings were well combined, and the potatoes were caramelized.
