    I love how easy this is to customize with different vegetables. I've tried adding bell peppers and spinach, and both were great.

    The natural pressure release is key for getting the chicken perfectly cooked. Don't skip that step!

    I added a can of chickpeas for extra protein and fiber. It was delicious!
