What's Cookin Wednesday: InstantPot Edition, September 2nd


Mexican Chicken Spaghetti

2 chicken breasts approx 1 lbs., boneless, skinless, cut into cubes

1 medium onion diced

2 cans rotel

2 cans cream of chicken soup

8 oz spaghetti noodles uncooked, broken into thirds (basically half a box you'd find in the store)

8 oz Cheddar Cheese, cubed

1 c chicken broth

Add onions and cubed chicken into your pot, spread out across the bottom.  Use the Saute feature to cook the chicken a little (so that the outsides turn white).

Pour 1 can of Rotel over this mixture

Break your noodles into 3 equal parts (so they’re shorter) and sprinkle them on top

don’t throw in in big chunks because they’ll come out clumped too, sprinkle

Then pour your 2nd can of Rotel over the noodles

In a bowl whisk together cans of cream of chicken, mushroom, and broth until smooth

Carefully pour into your pot

Close lid and steam valve and set to pressure cook, high for 8 minutes

Quick releasing the pressure when done cooking the chicken and noodles is best

Remove the lid after cook time and steam is released

Stir in cheese until melted, serve

I guesstimated 8 servings:

Green: 10 SP

Blue: 9 SP

Purple: 7 SP

I based my recipe off of this one, but I did change it up a little bit.

My Favorite Instant Pot Recipe is...Collab

  A big THANK YOU to Kim over at  A Girl and Her Phone  for putting together this collaboration!  This time we are doing our favorite Instant Pot recipe.  I will be honest and say that I have not made Fried Rice in the Instant Pot before but it is a family favorite!  I used this  Easy Instant Pot Hibachi Fried Rice  as my guide.  We had brown basmati rice that had already been cooked that I needed to use, as well as some shredded chicken that I had on hand.  Also, I used the veggies from a Stir Fry Teriyaki Kit but not the sauce.  This was definitely a good choice for my crew!  Looking forward to making this again!   Here's how I modified the recipe to make it work for me: Sesame oil - 1Tbsp Bragg Organic coconut liquid aminos - 3 Tbsp Unsalted butter - 1Tbsp Egg(s) - 4item(s) Stir fry vegetables without sauce - 9 cup(s) Cooked brown rice - 4 cup(s) Cooked skinless boneless chicken breast(s) - 8oz I added the sesame oil, cooked down the onions and veggies.  Then added the butter an

GET FOCUSED FRIDAY! August 12th

Image
This has not been my best week; I’m not even going to lie.  I will likely go weigh in tomorrow morning to see just how bad it was.  However, I have decided that I would take this opportunity to re-focus on my weight loss efforts.  I feel like I’m recycling the same pounds over and over again and this cycle needs to stop.  I was listening to Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person by Shonda Rhimes.  It brought some things to the forefront of my mind including how important certain things are in my life and how I need to stop being afraid and focusing my mind on all of the “what if” and “could be” options that swirl in my brain.  Bad habits like soda have been creeping back in to my workday.  I have decided, honestly, that I am going to try to focus on what I CAN do this week.  My goals for this week are to: I will pack a lunch/snack each workday. I will change up my breakfast at least 2 days out of the coming week. I will make sure I get 10,0
