Instant Pot Sausage and Chicken Stew

For a night that company surprises you and you have to throw together a quick dinner. We give you a super easy Instant Pot recipe that we made from frozen chicken and sausage. You can adjust the amount of chicken and sausage for the number of people you are serving with no need to adjust other ingredients or cooking time. We figured one thigh and a half a sausage per serving. Enjoy with polenta or crusty bread and with Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva.
