Every since we bought the Ninja Foodi, we have been trying out every feature. We loved the results from using the tender-crisp feature. Our braised chicken breast with mushrooms is an excellent example of how well this function works.

Whether you are using chicken breasts for a healthier meal or thighs, this recipe is going to blow your socks off.
Chicken in a mushroom sauce is always on our list of comfort foods. The incredible flavor always makes us want seconds. We get full from one serving, but we always make enough to freeze.
Chicken and Mushrooms
We were debating on why to share this recipe. There are so many different chicken and mushroom recipes out there why do we think this one is the best one? We took our time and created this to be perfect for dinner for us. We wanted to enjoy every bite, and that takes time to get just right. When you love to cook, you know what flavors you are looking for and how you want a certain dish to come out. That being said a little trial and error later and here we are with a dish that will warm your heart and have your stomach trying to make room for more.
Ninja Foodi
I must say the Ninja Foodie is the best kitchen gadget we own. It does cost a bit more than other devices, but man is it worth it. Let me say here, We are not sponsored or in any way affiliated with Ninja products. The Ninja Foodi is a bit heavier than the Instant Pot, but that is its only drawback. It comes with a nonstick pan that makes clean up a breeze. It comes to pressure faster than the Instant Pot also. The Ninja Foodi has replaced our Instant Pot and our Air Fryer. But wait there's more, it has also replaced out slow cooker and dehydrator. The Foodi saves a ton of counter and cabinet space as well as outperforming its competitors. You can make food faster and tastier with less clean up afterward.
Freezer Meals
No matter what we are cooking for dinner, we always try to make enough for leftovers. Why you may ask? Well, we like to meal prep on Sundays, but sometimes during the week, we do throw a meal or two together. We then calculate our points and freeze what's left. We write the points on the outside of the bag to save time later. Now when one of the kids is hungry of one of us, we grab a meal heat, eat and go, easy peasy.

Your recipes are awesome, but have you ever considered adding calorie values? Many of us count calories and it would be very helpful to be able to import your recipes in MFP etc.
We will start adding them now, thank you for the suggestion!
I guess I’m not that experienced at multipot cookers so I’m wondering when do you add the cup of wine?
Step 5 in the instructions. 🙂
