Chicken & Dumplings made in the Instant Pot is so tasty and delicious! It’s the perfect comfort food for busy nights or make for a special occasion.
Chicken and Dumplings are a hearty, old-fashioned dinner that the whole family will love. Made easy with this pressure cooker recipe.
Comfort food doesn’t mean you need to spend hours in the kitchen. With little ones, I don’t have time for that. This is yummy, simple and so tasty!!
We use canned biscuits, but if you want to make homemade dumplings, you are welcome. I also I highly recommend Kerrygold butter, it is rich and makes everything taste so much better.
The chicken can be thrown in frozen or thawed and there are no time adjustments between them.

How to make Chicken & Dumplings:

Next, prepare the dumpling sauce by placing butter in a medium saucepan and melt. Add salt and flour. Stir until thick. Mix sugar with milk and add to flour mixture a little at a time and stir constantly until thick and smooth. Remove from heat and let rest.
Once pressure has released and valve has dropped:
Carefully remove lid. Remove chicken to a plate and shred with shredding claws or two forks.
Time to sauté:
Turn on the Sauté function to simmer the broth and dumplings. Using biscuit dough, split in two pieces like you are opening a biscuit and place inside the broth. Simmer until dumplings are cooked and broth has begun to thicken.
Almost ready:
Lastly, once dumplings are complete, remove from the Instant Pot and pour into a bowl. Add in the dumpling sauce and shredded chicken and mix gently. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
How do I shred the chicken?
I use meat claws, but you could also use 2 forks or a mixer. Does anyone else prefer shredded chicken, it just seems to taste so much better.
