How to Make 3 Ingredient Chicken in a Ninja Foodi Using the Pressure Function
Aunt Lou here.
The base recipe for this Ninja Foodi 3 Ingredient Chicken is a favorite around here. Not only is it incredibly simple to make, it is a great, flavorful, comfort food dish. You can find the crock pot version of the recipe here. If you would rather make it on your stove top, you can find that version of the recipe here. I have even adapted this recipe to have fewer portions for people who only need two servings, and you can find that recipe here. Now, no matter what way you want to make this recipe, we have you covered! I hope you and your loved ones enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
