Instant Pot Chicken with Hatch Chili Cauliflower Cheese Sauce

Instant Pot Chicken with Hatch Chili Cauliflower Sauce

Grace Vilches
We're crazy for Hatch chili season! Even though the season only lasts a few weeks in August, these chilis can be roasted and frozen for later. For this tasty recipe, we combine Hatch chilis, cauliflower and cheese for a spicy, creamy sauce to spoon over chicken. The chicken and sauce cook together in the Instant Pot for easy clean-up. Serve over rice for a dinner the whole family will love.
