Instant Pot Chicken & Dumplings
Do you know what I love about these Instant Pot Chicken & Dumplings? Everything!! The chicken and biscuits are so delicious, so easy to make in the Instant Pot, and there’s no need to make a separate side dish because it contains veggies, too!!
Preparing your Instant Pot Chicken & Dumplings
I like to start with all the veggies chopped up and my ingredients out on the counter. It takes me a minute or two to do this but then I don’t forget anything that needs to go into the pot. I may or may not have done that once or twice in my lifetime. A large family mama only has so many brain cells some days. Yes and amen.
This is a perfect opportunity to use the chicken from cooking a whole frozen chicken in the Instant Pot. In a pinch, you can use rotisserie chicken you grabbed from Costco. Don’t overthink it mama. Use canned chicken if that’s what you got in the cabinet. Feeding your family is important. How you get to the end result is not. Off my soapbox now.
Turn your Instant Pot on to saute and let get hot. Add olive oil then throw in the vegetables.Cook until softened. Pour in chicken broth and deglaze the liner. Use a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the liner to get all the good bits. This also helps to keep the burn warning from flashing.
Add the cooked chicken, pepper, poultry seasoning, and cut up biscuits to the broth in the Instant Pot. As you drop in the biscuits pieces, stir often to keep the pieces from sticking to each other.
Put on lid, set pressure valve to closed, and set to manual for 7 minutes. After it cooks, let it natural release. Open lid, add cream and peas then put lid back on. Allow the residual heat to warm the peas. Serve immediately and let the accolades roll in.

One hour before cooking, stir in the biscuit pieces. Cover and continue cooking.

Don’t think one Instant Pot will feed your large brood? Double the recipe but use two Instant Pots or the large 14 qt. pressure cooker. I like to double the recipe so everyone can have enough for dinner but there are leftovers for lunch. If you hide it in the back, you can find it in a day or two and be surprised with its’ deliciousness!
