Southern Smothered Chicken Two Ways | One Recipe, Two Cooking Styles - Smothered Chicken is one of those comfort food classics that never gets old, so in this video I’m showing you TWO ways to make it—on the skillet and in the Instant Pot. If you’ve got a little more time, the skillet gives you that traditional Southern flavor we all grew up on. But if you’re trying to get dinner on the table fast, the Instant Pot version comes through with tender chicken and rich onion gravy in a fraction of the time.

I’ll walk you step by step through both methods so you can pick the one that works best for you—or try them both and see which one’s your favorite. Either way, you’re gonna end up with juicy chicken smothered in homemade gravy that’s perfect over mashed potatoes, rice, or cornbread.
