In reply to Lena. Hi Lena! Yes! Chicken would work great in this recipe. I would suggest thin slices of boneless, skinless chicken breast and cooking for 4 minutes on high pressure with 10 minutes natural pressure release. Enjoy!

Hey Kristen! Can I use chicken instead? How different would the cooking time be? Thanks!

In reply to Diane Langlois. Hi Diane! The cooking time/resting time will remain the same regardless if you double or triple the recipe. I would leave the liquid the same regardless if you double or triple the recipe. Enjoy!

I was wondering what the cooking time and resting time would be if I double or triple that recipe? Would to liquid quantity be the same?

Can I just put the meat in the pot without the veggies? I want to stirfry the veggies so they don't get mushy.

In reply to Nil. Hi Nil! That is good to note if you aren't using peppers as well, it may overpower the meat. Great to adjust for personal tastes :)

In reply to Jackie. I used half cup of beer for about 1 pound of flank. Too much in my opinion. Only added onions as far as veggies- the rest was spices

In reply to Carmin Arnold. Hi Carmin! You can certainly use both chicken and steak and the directions will stay the same. Just be sure to slice the chicken a bit thinner so that it cooks in 2 minutes time. Enjoy!

Can you make this recipe with steak and chicken together? If so, would any of the other directions change?

Will the time vary if you use fresh peppers and onions as opposed to frozen?

Such a great tip to put the meat in the freezer to get nice slices!! I also love that you can use cheaper meats with the Instant Pot - and how quick these yummy fajitas cook up!

In reply to Jackie. Hi Jackie! Yes, you will only need 1/2 cup liquid for a 6-quart and 3/4 cup for an 8-quart. Use either beer or stock. Enjoy!

Hi, the fajitas sound delicious! I’m using a 6 qt instapot. So I’m thinking I should probably put 1 cup of beer in the instapot?

In reply to Celena Boudreau. Hi Celena! The peppers and onions give off excess liquid, making this recipe work.

My instant pot directions say to use at least 18 ounces of liquid (more than 2 cups) of liquid to pressure cook. Your recipe barely uses 1 cup. What gives?

In reply to Jennifer. Absolutely this recipe will work with an 8 quart. All my recipes are designed for the 6 or 8 :)
