Notes

  • If you don’t have any Instant Pot Orange Marmalade, you can easily substitute Lemon Honey Marmalade. Or 1/4 cup honey, zest and juice of 1 orange.
  • This dish goes well with Cauliflower rice or white rice (AIP reintroduction)
  • If you prefer chicken thighs, you can use those instead of breasts.
  • This recipe is shown with Garlic Bok Choy.
