Instant Pot Chicken Marsala

And I bought a crockpot the other day because I simply don’t prefer my instant pot for a slow cooker. It just isn’t the same. So I got a big oval slow cooker with a manual settings and made this really super easy pork dish. I added a whole onion in this case, about 6 tablespoons of minced garlic because I’m a super garlic fan, and I also threw three (3) fresh sprigs of rosemary into the pot. I had cut up whole pork loin so I had pork chops that are boneless and I ended up with a little more than 2 pounds of cubed pork loin - cut into large stew meat style pieces. I doubled by cream of mushroom soup for more sauce and out of the golden mushroom soup with a package of dried Lipton onion soup mix with about 3 tablespoons of water. I didn’t really even eat water by the time it was done because the sauce was fabulous and the dinner was excellent! TIP: I did not cook these 2 pounds of stew meat style pork for 6 to 8 hours. Generally speaking, you should be only cooking it for 6 to 7 hours. Because of my pieces, I only slow cooked for three hours, and my pork came out perfectly moist. I feel like if I had done six hours for either the boneless pork chops or the stew meat, I would’ve had very dry meat that tasted like sandpaper. If you’re using a whole 2 pound piece, then I would put it on for six hours and check temp. Chef’s temp on pork is 140° instead of 145°. I pulled the vessel out of the crockpot unit so it would not continue to cook and let it sit until my husband came home from work - about an hour and a half. I started early because I wasn’t sure the cook time. At the end, I threw through curly parsley for that peppery flavor and served it over brown rice. This is easy and delicious and definitely on a rotation. Believe it or not, it’s got a great health score at 7.7! That’s pretty good for a crockpot dish!

Served over rice with mukimame on the side. Also used chicken chunks instead of fillets. More hands on than I prefer for pressure cooker meals but it was delicious.

I made this a bit different but it was good over rice

Holy Moly!! Wow! Loved this recipe! My husband raved about it. I served it with mashed potatoes and steamed zucchini. Amazing !
