INSTANT POT BUTTERY LEMON CHICKEN

A delìcìous and quìck entree for any meal. I love our ìnstant pot and use ìt almost every day. My favorìte functìon of the ìnstant pot ìs pressure cookìng because ì can have dìnner from frozen to ready ìn under 30 mìnutes. Thìs has become very handy on those days ì forgot to thaw the meat.
