Description

A simple recipe for making creamy chicken and dumplings in the Instant Pot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Add olive oil. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add thyme. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Place the chicken back into the pot. Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing.
  6. Cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes. Allow for a Natural Pressure Release for 5 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  7. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and cold water until smooth.
  9. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode (Low). Stir the flour mixture into the broth in the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
  10. Stir in the milk and the shredded chicken. Heat through, about 2 minutes.
  11. Drop the biscuit pieces evenly over the top of the stew. Do not stir.
  12. Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes. Allow for a Natural Pressure Release for 5 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  13. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • For richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk.
