That's right, Dad took his crispy bacon & cabbage braised chicken recipe and made it work in the Instant Pot! The original dish was a family favorite but took too long to complete. Between prep and baking time it would be around 1.5 hours to get the dish on the table! The instant pot version is quicker with easier clean-up! Dad's Instant Pot Chicken & Cabbage Recipe is perfect for a quick dinner.
