I'm making slow cooker chicken and potatoes in my instant pot, I did a can of cream of chicken soup, a can of milk, a can of chicken broth, and a ranch packet from Mccormick I think. I have 2 Ibs of chicken breast's cut in half, and 2 lbs of potatoes peeled and cut in the pot. Everything is submerged by fluids with the chicken being at the bottom. Did I do it right? Are the settings correct or is it too high? Should I do 3 hours instead of 4

I usually cook chicken breasts on low for 3-4 hours, depending on the size of the pieces. Your chicken should be done in 4 hours but your potatoes might still be firm, depending on how small you cut them.
I’ve never used the slow cooking option on an Instant Pot. You might ask over on r/InstantPot for IP specific advice.
Commenting because im curious how it comes out, I used an instant pot once as a slow cooker and felt like it didn’t come out right. Here’s hoping it works well for you!
I have insta-pot slow cooking experience. Looks right, but for all the things you want to cook, it may need longer.
Was the chicken firm or was it easy to shred? How about the potatoes?
Update
It’s been the 4 hours, chicken is at 140/165. Going to leave it in for another hour and see if that fixes anything, if not I’ll pressure cook for like 10 minutes.
