Instant Pot Lemon Chicken

Today I made Instant Pot Lemon Chicken for dinner and lunch for the week.

Ingredients )

Directions )

I only used 6 thighs instead of 8, I used diced garlic from a jar rather than fresh garlic, and dried rosemary and thyme instead of fresh. I also put slices of lemon in the pot while the chicken cooked and in hope of a more intensely lemon flavor.

The other change I made was when I was reducing the sauce at the end - it looked like the sauce was going to boil away entirely before it thickened, so I added a teaspoon of cornstarch and that thickened it right up.

It was good - I made rice to go with it - but I would definitely double the sauce if I make it again.

French Country Casserole

I made this French Country Casseroel from the Taste of Home site yesterday.

Due to sizing differences between Canada and the US there are only 19 ounce cans available in my area so I only used kidney and black beans. It was an easy recipe to make and left plenty of leftovers that will be easy to reheat. It tasted okay and I might try making it again.
