Step-by-Step Instructions for Instant Pot Chicken
- Select the SAUTE function on your Instant Pot. Add olive oil and heat for about 1-2 minutes until shimmering. Toss in chopped onions, cooking for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Stir in the diced celery, carrots, and minced garlic, sautéing for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the diced boneless, skinless chicken thighs, stirring occasionally until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in 4 cups of low sodium chicken broth, ensuring all are submerged. Sprinkle in black pepper, poultry seasoning, Italian seasoning, and salt, stirring gently.
- If using refrigerated canned biscuits, open and cut each biscuit into 8 pieces. Drop pieces into the pot. For homemade dumplings, prepare dough and spoon into the mixture.
- Cancel sauté and secure the lid. Select Pressure Cook option and set timer for 7 minutes on high pressure. Wait for the float valve to rise.
- After cooking, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes. Switch to venting to release remaining steam before removing lid.
- Stir in frozen peas and heavy cream. If thickening is needed, dissolve cornstarch in cold water and stir in. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
