Description

A comforting dish made with chicken, vegetables, and dumplings prepared effortlessly in an Instant Pot.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds bone-in split chicken breasts
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 4 stalks celery (diced)
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 4 large carrots (peeled and sliced)
  • 3 teaspoons garlic salt (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits (10 biscuits)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot on “SAUTE”. Add olive oil to the bottom of the pressure cooker. Add chicken and brown for about 3 minutes on each side.
  2. Add chicken broth to the pot and scrape up all the bits on the bottom of the pan.
  3. To the instant pot, add carrots, celery, onion, 2 tsp garlic salt, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Secure the lid and set the pressure valve to “SEALING.”
  4. Select High Pressure with a cook time of 30 minutes.
  5. When cook time ends, allow to naturally release for ten minutes, then do a quick release.
  6. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred, while removing and discarding the skin and bones. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot.
  7. Cut refrigerated biscuits into fourths and sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp garlic salt. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with cold milk. Pour into instant pot.
  8. Turn the instant pot on “SAUTE” and add the biscuits to the mixture. Cook for about ten minutes, until dumplings have doubled in size, and sauce has thickened.
