Death Chicken–an easy and fast Instant Pot dump and go creamy chicken and rice dinner.
Death Chicken
Today’s recipe is an adaptation from death chicken on food.com. The author states, “It gets its name from the strong Southern tradition of bringing a covered dish to families in mourning–this was the favorite of all the comfort foods brought on one such occasion. It’s from the book ‘God Save the Sweet Potato Queens’ by Jill Conner Browne.”
This creamy chicken and rice can be prepped in just a few minutes…it’s an easy dump and go recipe. There are not sautéing steps or chopping. It’s a comfort food that reminds me of my childhood. The use of chicken thighs, for me personally, is essential. They are ultra moist and tender. You can easily double this recipe to feed a crowd.

Notes/Tips
- Serve with a side of roasted or steamed broccoli.
- To make this gluten free use gluten free cream of chicken soup.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with converted rice are dizzy chicken casserole and Spanish rice with beef.
- Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs? Yes you can although they won’t turn out as tender. You can also use chicken tenderloins.
