How to Make Electric Pressure Cooker Pepper Jack Chicken in a Ninja Foodi

Cris here. As we continue in our Tried and True Series, I had to include a reader and family favorite. My family LOVES Pepper Jack Chicken whether it is the crock pot version, electric pressure cooker version, the air fryer version or the oven version.

The electric pressure cooker version of this dish produces a LOT of juices, so you can eat it more like a stew OR serve with a slotted spoon. I sometimes wait to put the cheese on until after I serve it up.

Notes on This Tried and True Recipe

  • The whole frozen green beans may seem like an odd addition, but trust me it is so yummy. We always use whole frozen beans. Fresh beans would likely turn out more crisp and canned would give it an entirely different texture.
  • You can use a different cheese than pepper jack, but then the dish won’t be pepper jack chicken ;).
  • You can use chicken breasts instead of boneless skinless thighs, but the cooking time may vary.

General Notes

  • We’ve tested this recipe in a 6 quart Instant Pot and 6.5 quart Ninja Foodi. When pressure cooking with larger pressure cookers, you may need to add 1/2 cup to 1 cup more liquid to reach pressure. Make sure not to overfill smaller pressure cookers past their max lines.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • Finally, all electric pressure cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own electric pressure cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    Love the melted cheese taste. You can use any kind of peppers as well. I used a tbs of garlic powder instead of minced garlic. It was amazing.
