HEALTHY Instant Pot Meals for Families with Aging Parents on a low sodium Diet

Getting healthy meals on the table all week long is not easy. But takeout and pre made meals are more expensive and typically not as healthy as a home cooked meal. So cooking MOSTLY at home isn't a bad idea.

With grocery prices going through the roof, I try my best to grab mostly ingredients that are on the cheaper side...but are still healthy. So organic chicken and beans are often on rotation in our house. And to make things even cheaper, I like to use whole chickens.

We do like variety in our household, so meal prepping and eating the same meal day after day does not make us happy. So I have been taking one chicken and meal prepping several different meals with it.

Today I will be showing you how to make 3 different meals with 1 chicken!

What's on today menu?
Instant pot chicken!

First we will make a Spanish inspired Chicken, which I like to serve with rice.
Next up, pressure cooker Chicken Tikka Masala...but with a healthier twist.
Then, I will show you a bonus recipe!...easy Naan...make with greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Because Naan and Tikka Masala are like peanut butter and jelly.
And last, we will take the bones from the chicken and the veggie scraps from our meals and make a tasty, healthy chicken stock with them. And then make a healthy bean and veggie soup!

We live in a multigenerational household, consisting of one kid, my partner and I, and my partner's mom Lola who needs softer and lower sodium food. So I will be showing you how to cook all three meals as a senior friendly version.

But if you aren't here for that, don't worry! All three meals are perfect for a healthy weekly meal prep whether you are single, need to feed a family, or need soft and lower sodium versions! So everyone can be happy.

All of the recipes are perfect for meal prep and freezer friendly.

As a caregiver, I can say that they are senior friendly! Perfect for grandparents and aging parents, but the whole family will love them!

You can find all of the recipes at the end of the video. Just pause the video and take a screen shot.
