Equipment

1 pressure cooker

Ingredients

1 jar spaghetti sauce 24 oz.
4 chicken breasts boneless skinless, cut into bite size pcs.
1/2-1 onion sliced
3 bell peppers any variety, sliced
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 c water
1 c mushrooms quartered, optional
red pepper flakes optional for heat

Instructions

Pour half jar of spaghetti sauce on bottom of pot. Cube chicken into small bite size pieces and add into your Instant Pot.
Pour rest of spaghetti sauce over that. Add 1/2 c. water into your spaghetti sauce jar, put on lid and shake to get remaining sauce out of jar. Pour this liquid on top of chicken.
Cut bell peppers and onion into strips (thicker if you want them firmer when done, thinner if you want them really soft). Add into your pressure cooker.
Sprinkle your chili powder, garlic salt, and any other seasonings you like over that.
Set your Instant Pot to manual, pressure, high, for 3 minutes.
Allow to naturally release steam for 2 minutes, then quick release, lift lid carefully and serve over rice!
(as always, check chicken when done to make sure it is thoroughly cooked thru, 3 min. is plenty of time if cut into bite size pcs. initially)
