I guess they mean comment when they say comment. Questions aren’t answered. You can cook this in a deep skillet or any pot that’s big enough. Any mixture of chicken pieces you choose. I’d add more garlic.

Can you do this in a slow cooker instead of an Instant Pot?
I believe we need at least 1 tablespoon of Avacodo oil to brown all 4 breasts. I cooked this in a skillet following the same instructions but simmering in the skilled with a lid for about 45 minutes. Turned out very tasty.
Can you do this without an instapot? And can you do it with chicken legs?
