How to make instant pot Parmesan ranch chicken:
Start by adding the chicken and quartered baby red potatoes into the Instant Pot and drizzle them with the olive oil and toss the chicken and potatoes until they are coated with the olive oil.
Then, in a small bowl, mix together the salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, basil, oregano, and two tablespoons of the ranch dressing mix.
PRO TIP: Get yourself the bulk container of ranch dressing mix from Costco since you will probably make this often. 😉
Now, sprinkle the seasonings mixture over top of the chicken and redskin potatoes, then toss them together to make sure they all are seasoned well.
After everything is well seasoned, pour in the chicken broth trying to avoid directly pouring it onto the chicken to keep as much of the seasoning on the chicken and potatoes as possible.
Once everything is in the Instant Pot, place the lid on and turn the knob to the “SEALING” position. Then, press the “MANUAL” or “PRESSURE” button and set the timer to 13 minutes.
Pro tip: Remember that it will take 10-15 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure, so be sure to plan accordingly!
When the timer runs out, you’ll need to do a quick release by turning the knob to the “VENTING” position to release the pressure.
The pin will drop once all the pressure is out, then you will know its safe to remove the lid.
Next, remove the chicken and potatoes from the Instant Pot and put them into a large bowl and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ranch dressing, Parmesan cheese, and the melted butter until everything is well incorporated. Drizzle this mixture over the chicken.
