When making my recipe you don't have an Instant Pot you can use your stove top to brown the chicken and make the roux.  Then just place the ingredients into a slow cooker to finish cooking it.  It will still be delicious, you will just have an extra pot to wash.  In fact, the original recipe from Betty Crocker, has you do just that.



Since I have gotten my Instant Pot, I use it as a slow cooker whenever I have items that need to be browned prior to being placed in the crock pot.  It is one of my favorite features of the Instant Pot preceded only by the fact that I can place frozen food into the Instant Pot and still have dinner ready and on the table in an hour.  This Instant Pot Goulash saved me last month when I didn't have a clue what to serve for dinner.

  1. I actually have a slow cooker with and insert that can go on the stove top! I have yet to try the slow cooker in my Instant Pot, but now I'm inspired. I love gumbo!
