  • It’s the first model, the newer ones are smaller
  • Some ask the price but it varies because of shipping and taxes and whether it’s being shipped to Hawaii or Alaska territories.

Everyone is welcome to share their creation so you can get tons of ideas from people around the world, and share what you’ve made too.

That is where I got the idea to make a sort of French onion chicken in Ninja Foodi meal. I always use onions for all the things since they are so cheap but pack a punch of flavor. Adding slices of cheese at the end gave it creaminess but still a great source of protein. Kids even love this one.

You can make some of these in a Ninja Foodi Grill too. If you have that one it comes with two functions. You can grill and air fry. That does cut down the meals you can make since you cannot pressure cook in it but is a nice option to “barbecue” when it is cold and rainy outside.

How do you cook frozen chicken in the Ninja Foodi using the pressure cooker function?

It’s really quite simple! Directions in the link above.

  • Tip: Defrosting and cooking frozen chicken breasts in a pressure cooker is ideal for making shredded chicken but not fantastic for eating whole in my opinion.

They’ll get tender and perfect for mixing with a tasty sauce and making shredded chicken soft tacos but whole they have an interesting texture.

Love pressure cooker casseroles? Most of ours take less than 15 minutes to cook. Now that is a FAST cook time!

Just set to high and when it’s done you quick release on your pressure release valve and add a layer of cheese to melt on the top if you want! 

I am totally obsessed with this machine I tell you!

Love Chinese food? Try our Ninja Foodi Asian chicken some night for sure.

This crack chicken casserole below has been a huge hit, or Ninja Foodi crack chicken without the noodles.

Hi there, I am so loving your recipes. I have been going nuts looking for help on using my new Foodi. I have a question regarding the pressure cooker. Do I have to add water to everything that I pressure cook? Sometimes I get a flashing message that says “WATER” so I have to open the lid and add water, but I noticed you do not say to do that in your recipes. I mean the ones that are not liquid based. Can you help me out? Thanks bunches!

Yes water must be added for pressure cooking however if you're adding things like broth, salsa, or other things with liquid you don't have to add additional water.

Good information, but way too many ads. Cannot recommend this website or blog. It does not flow well at all. Too many ads, links, and needs updated view. Hard to visually follow.
