Ingredients
6 Servings
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 10 g baking powder
- 60 g butter
- 2 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 500 g chicken breasts
- 800 ml chicken broth
- 2 garlic cloves
- 200 ml milk
- 1 onion
- 10 g parsley
- 5 g pepper
- 5 g salt
Directions
Step 1
Turn on the Instant Pot and select 'Sauté' mode. Add a bit of oil and cook the chicken breasts until browned on both sides.
Step 2
Remove the chicken and set aside. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion to the Instant Pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the pot, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the pot and secure the lid. Select 'Pressure Cook' and set the timer for 10 minutes.
Step 5
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dumplings. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined.
Step 6
Once the cooking time is up, perform a quick release of the pressure. Open the lid and shred the chicken using two forks.
Step 7
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the pot. Secure the lid again and select 'Pressure Cook' for 5 more minutes.
Step 8
Perform another quick release. Stir in the chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings!
