"Creamy Salsa Chicken"

I went to a relative's house over the weekend and she had made "Creamy Salsa Chicken" in her new Instant Pot.

I'd never heard of it, but apparently it's a beginner's meal in the Instant Pot because it has three ingredients: raw chicken, salsa and a brick of cream cheese.

It was as vile as it sounds -- the pressure cooker had overboiled/exploded the chicken, and the salsa had dissolved into water with clots of cream cheese bobbing around in it. It looked like this picture but even more disgusting.

There are dozens of recipes online. Am I the only person who had never heard of "creamy salsa chicken"?

I've seen less vile offerings on the streets of New York City on Sunday morning on my way to "church".

You said yourself that its a beginner recipe for InstaPot users. So why do you imagine you’re ”the only person who had never heard of ’creamy salsa chicken?”’Are you imagining that this is some sort of authentic cuisine?

Add a skosh of grenadine and some half-chewed wiener/bun, and you'll have the Lucky Dog+Hurricane vomit, the French Quarter treat.©

Yeah, no way I'm eating that. It looks like hunks of tofu floating in it. Explain to me how this is "creamy"?

This is more what it looked like, I guess, with the nubs of cream cheese floating like cotija. It wasn't creamy at all.

I appreciate that this home chef made it "pretty" with parsley sprinkles.

Did she forget to cut up the cream cheese?

We have found that the Instant Pot is only good for cooking the ingredients which would take a long time to cook otherwise. Dry beans, whole chicken, etc. It's great for that because it speeds up the cooking time dramatically. However it also looks all the flavor out. Even the seasonings are gone. It's not useful for cooking a complete meal all in the pot. So we use it to cook the main ingredients, then cook up the sauce or gravy or other seasoning or coating separately. Then we don't lose the flavors due to them being pressure cooked away.

You're a cunt OP. If you had any kind of integrity you'd acknowledge the meal wasn't great, be appreciative you were invited for dinner and understand not everyone is wonderful in the kitchen and be quiet about it.

It looks as if she used paneer, rather than cream cheese.

I made a baked chicken dish once that included salsa verde and sour cream. The salsa verde mixed with the sour cream and made a creamy sauce that kept the chicken moist.

I clicked on this thread because Creamy Salsa Chicken sounds good, if properly made, not just dumping the ingredients in an "Insta pot" (what is it anyway? A pressure cooker?) Your cousin sounds like a horrible cook who thought the gadget could miraculously make a delicious meal with no effort and few ingredients, just toss it all in! WRONG. S/he's just a horrible/lazy "cook."

This recipe would probably cause conniption fits to rival Miss Lindsey's if s/he tried to make it. It's jes so mahch wehk!
