Time 49m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb chicken tenders (approx. 5 tenders)
2 cups chicken broth
3 ribs celery, diced (approx. 3/4 cup)
one medium onion, diced (approx. 1 cup)
3 carrots, sliced (approx. 1 cup)
1 tsp ground thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 unbaked pie crust (or biscuits or puff pastry)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • In the insert pot of the Instant Pot, combine chicken tenders, broth, celery, onion, carrots, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Close the lid and set the vent to the sealed position. Select a cook time of 4 minutes at high pressure.
  • Once the cook time is complete, allow a natural release of pressure. After the pressure has released and the valve drops, carefully remove lid.
  • Remove chicken to a cutting board.
  • Whisk together flour and cream until lumps are gone, creating a slurry. Stir slurry into the hot broth in the insert pot, stirring well to combine.
  • Add frozen peas to the broth and cream mixture.
  • Shred or chop chicken as desired, then return to the broth and stir to combine.
  • To prepare a traditional chicken pot pie, pour filling into a deep dish pie plate and top with prepared pie crust. Use a fork to prick a few holes into the top of the crust. Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
  • To prepare as a chicken pot pie casserole, use a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or the rim of a glass to cut small rounds out of the prepared pie crust dough (or biscuits or puff pastry, if preferred). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake as directed until golden brown. Scoop filling into bowls and serve with rounds of pie crust, biscuits, or puff pastry.

INSTANT POT CHICKEN POT PIE

Number Of Ingredients 12

Puff pastry
3 frozen chicken breasts
1 cup chicken broth (split)
1 onion
3 large potatoes
1 bag frozen vegetables (carrots, peas, beans)
1 package of biscuits
1 2/3 cup of Red Lobster Biscuit mix
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Take the Puff Pastry Sheets out of the freezer to thaw.
  • Add frozen chicken into the bottom of the Instant Pot and add 1/2 cup of broth. Cook on MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK on HIGH for 20 minutes.
  • Shred the chicken in the Instant Pot. Add another 1/2 cup of broth, onion, potatoes and frozen vegetables to the Instant Pot and stir.
  • While your vegetables are cooking it is time to make the biscuits. Mix the biscuit flour, water and cheese together. Shape into small balls.
  • When the vegetables are done cooking, turn the knob to VENTING and remove the lid when you can. Push CANCEL and then the SAUTE button. Add your small biscuit balls into your chicken and vegetables.
  • Let the biscuits cook for 4 minutes then flip them over and cook for another 4 minutes. Then they are done cooking it is time to mix them really well into the sauce. This will make a very thick consistency for your chicken pot pie.
  • Take your thawed Puff Pastry Sheets and measure them a little over the size of the pan. Put 1/2 of the filling into a cake or pie pan and cover with one of the pastry sheets. Do the same to the other pie/cake pan.
  • Cook at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Continue to check on it so it doesn't burn.
  • When it is done, let it cool for a few minutes, cut and serve!
