Instant Pot Chicken Casserole with Stuffing
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts diced
- 1 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth divided
- 1 cup sour cream
- 6 oz Stove Top Stuffing Mix
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (normal). When hot, melt the butter.
- Season the diced chicken evenly with poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper, and then add it to the pot. Brown the chicken on all sides but do not fully cook through.
- Cancel the sauté function and add a splash of the chicken broth to deglaze the pot (see recipe notes).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and sour cream. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the diced chicken.
- Sprinkle the dry Stove Top stuffing over the chicken. Do not stir.
- Close the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Pressure cook on HIGH pressure for 5 minutes. It will take the pot about 5 to 10 minutes to come to pressure before the cook time begins.
- When the cooking time is complete, do a Quick Release by turning the steam release to the Venting position (see safety notes below). When the float valve is down, you can open the lid. Serve warm.
Notes
Deglaze: After sautéing, you want to remove any burned bits stuck to the bottom of your Instant Pot before pressure cooking. Add a small splash of water or broth while the pot is still hot and use your spatula to loosen any food.
Serving size: I do not recommend halving this recipe because the Instant Pot needs 1 cup of liquid (broth in this case) to prevent burning.
Safety note: Do not put your hand over the steam release valve. The steam is very hot and releases very quickly.
Storage: Leftover Instant Pot Chicken Casserole can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days. It's best to freeze the casserole in individual portions in airtight containers or freezer bags. This way, you can easily defrost and reheat only the amount you need.
