Scale
Equipment needed: Instant Pot and (if wanting to cook rice at same time) tall trivet and pan for pot-in-pot cooking
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 (10.5 oz) can Campbell’s French Onion Soup
- 1 1/2–2 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs (you can also use bone-in chicken)
- 1 (10.5 oz) can Campbell’s Cream of Chicken with Herbs Soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Optional for pot-in-pot rice: 1 1/2 cups uncooked white or parboiled rice and 2 1/4 cups water
Instructions
Instant Pot Instructions:
- Pour broth and can of French onion soup into bottom of Instant Pot*.
- Place chicken into bottom of Instant Pot in a single layer.
- Spoon the cream of chicken over the top of the chicken without letting it touch the bottom of the pot.
- If you’d like to cook rice at the same time then place a tall trivet* into the pot. Pour 1 ½ cups rice and 2 ¼ cups water into a pan that fits inside your pot (I used my stainless steel pan*). Place the pan on top of the trivet.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 15 minutes (boneless chicken) or 18 minutes (bone-in or frozen chicken).
- When time is up let the pressure release naturally for 5-10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- Carefully remove the rice pan and set it on the counter.
- In a small bowl stir 1 cup of hot broth into sour cream to temper. Then stir the mixture into the Instant Pot. Break up the chicken into pieces or shred.
- Serve chicken and sauce over rice or potatoes.
Slow Cooker Instructions:
- Pour French onion soup and cream of chicken soup into slow cooker (no broth needed for slow cooker version). Stir together well.
- Add in the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours.
- In a small bowl stir 1 cup of hot broth into sour cream to temper. Then stir the mixture into the slow cooker. Break up the chicken into pieces or shred.
- Serve chicken and sauce over rice or potatoes.
Notes
In the place of cream of chicken you can use cream of mushroom or cream of celery condensed soups.
