Notes

How to turn this into a freezer meal:

Add all ingredients to a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 60 days.

When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1/2 cup of chicken broth or water in with the frozen food. Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the PRESSURE COOK button. Set timer for 25 minutes. Do a QUICK RELEASE when the timer is done and follow the rest of the instructions as written.
