- 1x 8oz jar pesto

- 1x 14.5oz can of Chicken Broth (or 2 cups)
— Cous Cous —
- A dash of olive oil
- 2 cups pearl or grain couscous.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- A couple dashes of salt
- 1 ½ cups water
- (optional) A bag of frozen microwavable veggies.
Instructions
- Cover bottom of instant pot with oil and stack chicken breasts on top of this.
- Mix pesto, ranch seasoning, and ½ cup of chicken broth in a small bowl, then pour on top of chicken, trying to distribute as evenly as possible.
- Close and seal instant pot and set to 12 minutes on manual (high pressure if instant pot has variable pressure).
- After timer is up, allow pressure to release naturally by leaving it alone for at least 5 minutes. After this time or longer, open pot and shred chicken with two forks.
— Cous Cous —
- After starting instant pot, combine rest of chicken broth with 1 ½ cups water, butter, a dash of olive oil, and salt. Bring this to boil in a large pot.
- Turn off the heat, then just before you shred the chicken, bring back to a boil.
- Once water is boiling, add couscous, remove the pot from heat, and cover for 5-10 minutes (this varies based on exact brand, etc).
- Remove cover and fluff couscous with a large spoon, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot for any couscous that's sticking.
- To serve, pour chicken and broth over couscous. Add microwaved veggies if desired.
