Instant Pot Easy Chicken Pot Pie

This is a stupid easy recipe for chicken pot pie. It’s not the traditional pot pie with a baked pie crust but instead we bake a batch of store bought canned biscuits while the Instant Pot cooks the chicken and gravy sauce. If you’re not a fan of canned biscuits then you can make your own homemade biscuits. Sometimes I use this recipe for biscuits if I’m feeling very homemake-y that day.

My family plus one neighbor kid all loved this dinner. I loved it because it took minimal effort and they loved it because it tasted good.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?

To make this Instant Pot Easy Chicken Pot Pie I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly.  It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

Description

A really easy, almost cheater version of chicken pot pie. Tender pieces of chicken are served with vegetables and a creamy gravy sauce and then topped with a golden brown biscuit. A family-friendly meal that is great any day of the week.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (frozen is okay, about 1 1/2 pounds of chicken)
  • 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 (13.75 oz) can Campbell’s Cream of Chicken Soup with Herbs
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 can of refrigerated biscuits
  • Optional: Cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. When the display says HOT add in the olive oil. Add in the onion and saute for about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth. Nestle the chicken into the pot. Sprinkle the chicken with poultry seasoning, parsley and pepper. Dump the cream of chicken soup on top of the chicken (try not to let it touch of the bottom of the pot). Don’t stir.
  2. Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to “sealing.” Set the manual/pressure cook button to 10 minutes for thawed chicken or 12 minutes for frozen chicken on high pressure. Meanwhile move on top step 3. When the time is up let the pot sit there for 10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  3. Pour frozen vegetables into a strainer and run hot water over them. Bake the biscuits in the oven according to the package directions.
  4. Cut the chicken into pieces. Stir the vegetables into the pot. Set the Instant Pot to the saute setting to quickly warm up the vegetables. If the sauce is too thin you can make a cornstarch slurry by mixing 1 Tbsp of cornstarch with 1 Tbsp cool water together and then stirring it into the pot until the sauce is thickened.
  5. Once vegetables are warmed through you can scoop chicken and gravy mixture into bowls and top with a biscuit.

Notes

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*.

    Hey! I used fat free cream of soup (10 ounce can and 3 ounce from another) and used minced onion instead. Not sure if it tastes like easy pot pie? What else can I do next time? It was only 4 servings for me

    I read through the reviews before making this and adjusted it the following ways:

    Using an 8qt., so I added an extra cup of broth.

    Used frozen mixed veggies, adding them in with the onions. Also added 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed.

    Added 1/4 tsp dried Thyme and Rosemary.

    Baked up an 8-count of Pilsbury croissants.

    My family really liked it!

      It just means to pour frozen vegetables into a strainer and run hot water over them and bake the biscuits in the oven according to the package directions while the food is cooking in the Instant Pot.

    I made this recipe several weeks ago. Our church always packages up any leftover homemade biscuits from our monthly biscuit and gravy breakfast. i had taken some and put in my freezer the month before. These went perfect with homemade chicken pot pie. It was a hit and I made it again after that. Thank you for sharing such an easy and tasty recipe.

    Enjoyed this very much. I don’t know if yours had potatoes in it or not, but I added a few diced up baby reds (skin on). After adding my broth I put them on top of the onions and then placed the chicken on top. While it was cooking I placed a sheet of puff pastry I’d cut into squares in the oven at 400 for 17 minutes. Once the pot pie was done I put it in a bowl and laid the beautiful puff pastry on top. It was a perfect meal. Thanks for sharing, love your recipes. Life is so busy now, I just love simple.

    I just got the “Instant Pot” for Christmas & in all honesty feel a little intimidated with it although I use a regular pressure cooker with no problems. I’m trying to get m feet wet with it & start with something simple.
    I’ve got leftover cooked turkey. I’m thinking putting the leftover turkey with frozen mixed veggies & cream of chicken soup for a turkey pot pie. Could I put cut up pieces of can biscuits in it for maybe a dumpling type meal?
    If so, what cook settings should I use?
    Thanks

    Question….you said this recipe is “stupid easy”…to me stupid easy would be cutting the chicken up before the cook and throwing the frozen veg in and heating with Saute. Is there a reason that you added the extra steps of fishing out the chicken to cut it out and thawing the veg with hot water?

      I’d peel them and cut them into cubes and then place them on top of everything…don’t stir. It might be too much time for them but it might work okay. The reason the picture shows potatoes is because I used the slow cooker picture for this recipe. https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/homemade-slow-cooker-chicken-pot-pie/
