We are in the midst of Basketball Season for our daughter. This means that some nights I don’t have time to cook.
One day I needed quick meal for my family that could be made ahead and warmed when we returned from the game.
Today’s recipe is my Chicken, Cheese and Veggie Baked Potato. I made this dish in my instant pot.
My instant pot has become an amazing go to for me during our busy times. This is a one pot recipe. Perfect for those busy nights.
