Jalapeño Cheddar Chicken (Instant Pot Recipe)

I add smoked paprika and more extra cayenne pepper as we like spicy. Also I use little less cheese. The recipe allows to you make big batches. Don’t have to use chicken tenderloins chicken breast cut up is fine. I add cooked gnocchi after it’s cooked

Skip the scallions and just add more onions to the recipe. Since both are added to cook in the IP, scallions are just redundant flavor wise, extra expense and work. I also use chicken thighs instead of tenders. I solved the watery sauce problem by reducing the broth to 1/2 cup. Also add the heavy cream AFTER cooking with the shredded cheese. I added a block of cream cheese at this step. This meant I didn't have to add any flour/butter to thicken the sauce. My family of 5 thought it was delicious. We have eaten it with rice and/or tortillas. I have also made enchiladas by removing and shredding the chicken thighs and putting the chicken in tortillas with a bit of sauce, more shredded cheese and then topping the enchiladas with the sauce before baking. The rest of the sauce we use for dipping tortilla chips in.
