Great and easy to do. At the risk of giving the author apoplexy, I modified it! Not being a climber (Himalayas) or keen on squeezing milk out of almonds, I substituted gravy granules and wine/broth for the milk, and used 1 1/2 cups as the Instant Pot instructions say you need 3 cups of liquid to use the steam funtion. Served with roast potatoes and Paxo stuffing made separately (OK, I’m a Brit!). It was delicious and very easy to make. Thank you for the recipe!
This was the first thing i tried in my IP and we loved it! Even my 2 year old loved it!
This was good . I made brown rice to go along with it. My chicken was a bit dry but i mughtve browned it too long
Chicken pretty flavorless. Recommend adding sone shallots, garlic or spices when sasoning.
I made this with onion and shallot in place of the leeks, and loved the outcome.
First thing I have made with my Instapot. Was easy to use and the recipe was easy to follow. Chicken was a little dry. Thought it would have been more moist. Would add some spices to give flavor next time. Overall, not bad.
It was just okay. It tasted like it was missing something and it also needed to be served over something like rice or mashed potatoes.
Good and tasty.
I keep clicking on delicious looking recipes that say ‘paleo’ and ‘gluten free’ but the ingredients say otherwise…
I made this dish tonight.
Everything carmalized beautifully.
Didn’t have almond milk, used vegetable broth instead. WOW! What a treat!
I didn’t use 4T of butter, used 3T, 4T is a lot of butter.
I’m a weight watcher – so this calculated out to about 4 smartpoints per serving.
First time ever using my Instapot using this recipe. Loved it! The sauce was amazing and the chiken fork tender will make this again.
Very tasty, not difficult at all.
I think 3lbs of leeks was excessive. I used 1-1/2lbs and even then there was barely room in my 6 qt Instant Pot for the chicken. Had I used 3lbs it would not have fit. This recipe must be for the larger pot but didn’t day so.
No stores in my area even knew what Arrow Root starch was. I used Tapioca starch, it was fine.
This is a good recipe, though I cut down the amount by about half and modified it just a tad (I’m only cooking for two). I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, used coconut oil for the saute and put a little tarragon in the mushroom/leek sauce before serving.
Whole family enojyed it!! Had my parents over for dinner & they loved it as well. Put it on top of broad egg noodles. First time cooking with Leeks!! Will make this again.
Very good. Sort of had a leek gravy. We served on a bed of rice then spooned some of the leeks on top and extra garnish on the table. Delicious. Big hit.
A ton of flavor…super simple to make. I had it pver rice and was amazing!
Delicious! Super easy to make. I didn’t do the gravy part. Served over rice and yum
