Instant Pot Creamy Cheesy Chicken and Bacon

I am really loving my Instant Pot and the convenience it has provided for me as a busy mom and wife!!! I am a mom of three active boys and constantly on the go making it hard to prepare healthy meals. However, with my Instant Pot, I am cooking meals that are taking less than an hour. This recipe took about 40 minutes! 

This Instant Pot is making me look like Super Mom in the kitchen! 

I'm meal planning to make sure I have all the ingredients and ready to go each day. Here is a free Printable that I use for my meal planning. This is a way I can have all the meals and the grocery list together when I head out to the store. I also write down all the activities for the week to consider when I plan a certain meal and the timeframe for cooking. 

Here is the recipe for Instant Pot Creamy Cheesy Chicken and Bacon

Ingredients:

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (depending on how many people you are serving)

2 tablespoons butter

½ tsp rosemary

⅛ tsp thyme

1 tsp garlic

Sea Salt to season

¾ cup chicken broth

6 pieces of bacon

⅔ cup heavy whipping cream

2 oz cream cheese

¾ tsp xanthum gum

1 cup cheese, freshly grated

3 pieces of bacon, crumbled

Turn electric pressure cooker to saute and cook 6 pieces of bacon until crispy.

Remove ½ of the bacon.

Carefully open Instant Pot after the pin drops.

I ate mine over rices cauliflower to cut back on carbs. My boys ate it over oraganic gluten free angel hair pasta.
