Instant Pot Sour Cream and Bacon Chicken

Instant Pot Sour Cream and Bacon Chicken

This is an easy dump and go chicken recipe that tastes awesome! The creamy sauce is homemade and the flavor is super yummy and a little different with the combination of sour cream, mushrooms, bacon, dill and Worcestershire sauce. If you’re a fan of mushrooms I think you’ll love this chicken dish. Even my son who “doesn’t like mushrooms” enjoyed this dinner.

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

  • Chicken broth–or water and 1 teaspoon of Better than Bouillon Chicken Base
  • Boneless skinless chicken thighs–frozen or fresh
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • Dried dill
  • Garlic powder
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Mushrooms
  • Sour cream–or plain yogurt
  • Cornstarch
  • Bacon crumbles–I find these in the salad dressing aisle. You can also use bacon that you fry up and crumble.

Steps

Pour broth into Instant Pot. Add in the chicken. I used frozen chicken thighs.

Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, dill, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Dump in the mushrooms. I like to chop the mushrooms so my kids don’t know they are there 🙂

Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 12 minutes for frozen or 10 minutes for fresh chicken. Always cook on high pressure unless the recipe explicitly tells you differently.

When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.

In a small bowl stir together cornstarch with 3 Tbsp of water until smooth. Stir the mixture into the pot. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. Let the sauce thicken up. Turn off the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of the sauce into the sour cream in a bowl and whisk. Pour the mixture into the Instant Pot and stir. By tempering the sour cream you will prevent it from separating.

Stir in the bacon.

Salt and pepper to taste. Serve the chicken and sauce over rice, mashed potatoes or egg noodles. I made brown rice in a separate Instant Pot. You can break up the chicken with a fork or you can serve it in whole pieces.

Notes/Tips

  • Serve the chicken and sauce over rice, mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
  • If you want you can make pot-in-pot white rice at the same time as the chicken. Place a tall trivet in the pot around the chicken. Place a pan* with water and rice inside (1 cup rice to 1.5 cups water ratio) on top of the trivet. Pressure cook the recipe according to directions. Rice will cook perfectly at the same time as the chicken.
  • You can also make this with chicken breasts although the chicken won’t be as moist and tender. Use the same cooking time as thighs. You can also make this with chicken tenders but just use a 4 minute pressure cooking time.
  • This recipe is low carb and can be keto friendly if you serve over cauliflower rice.
  • This recipe can be gluten-free if you use gluten-free Worcestershire sauce.
  • 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 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Other recipes you can make with Worcestershire sauce are Instant Pot Amish Cabbage And Potato Casserole and Instant Pot Fat Burning Soup.

    Recipe amounts: 1/2X, 1X, ,2X. 2X recipe is doubled. 1/2X recipe is half, 1X Original recipe. I usually need/make 1/2X for 2 of us. Would you recommend using a 3 qt IP? Or making recipe in pot-in-pot method? My IP needs 1 1/2 Cups liquid minimum. Many, many recipes call for 1/4 Cup – 1/2 cup liquid only, hence my question. Until I know we like the recipe, I halve the ingredients. Once we know it’s a keeper, I can made 1X amounts, and freeze any leftovers. PLEASE advise, thank you. : – |

      Yes a 3 quart pot would work great. the mushrooms put off liquid too so you should be okay.

    I only have an 8 quart and the instructions that came with it said to always use at least 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups liquid to bring to pressure.. Without making a double batch, how do I adjust this recipe to come up to pressure correctly?

      You should be good since it uses 1 cup of broth and then the chicken will put off about a half cup of liquid. Plus the mushrooms release liquid too.

I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
