In the event that you don't have a moment pot, don't stress! I've included skillet directions here as well. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you don't have one yet, what the hell are ya doing?! They're so helpful! At first I didn't have an inkling when I'd ever need to utilize it, however at this point it once in a while leaves my ledge. I cherish that you can do as such much in one pot, such as burning the chicken, and making this sauce for instance! No additional dishes required.

I additionally utilized a red pepper here for the Whole30 moment pot sweet and acrid chicken, however a green pepper would work fine and dandy too. I figure this would likewise be incredible with chicken thighs rather than chicken bosoms, and I'm a major enthusiast of utilizing what you have close by to make it work!

Keep them at a 2 inch to 1.5 inch hack so they don't get soft in the moment pot, thus you get that Chinese dish feel to it with the bigger lumps of veggies.
