Instant Pot Chicken And Dumplings Take A Classic Recipe And Makes It So Crazy Easy To Make For Your Family And Is Sure To Be A Hit.

We love Instant Pot Chicken recipes. Some of our favorites include Grandma’s Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe and Instant Pot Creamy Ranch Chicken & Broccoli with Mashed Potatoes.

INSTANT POT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings is one of those dishes that I just can’t get enough of. Tender, delicious chicken simmered in an amazing gravy with savory veggies and little pillows of dumpling goodness…yum.

And the best part? It doesn’t take all day to make! It’s ready in no time with your Instant Pot.

CAN I MAKE THE DUMPLINGS IN MY INSTANT POT TOO?

You certainly can! Actually, I have found the I like the texture better when the dumplings are made in the Instant Pot. The dumplings are still light and tender, but they hold up a bit better in the gravy and a wonderful texture. Pressure cooking them also helps to infuse that delicious Chicken and Dumplings flavor!

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH INSTANT POT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS?

One of the great things about this recipe is that it includes everything you need! A light salad might go nicely alongside it, but if you’re in a hurry, you don’t need to make anything else.

WILL INSTANT POT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS FREEZE WELL?

You can freeze this recipe, but I would recommend keeping it in the refrigerator and having the leftovers for lunch, as freezing may cause the dumplings and some of the vegetables to gain an odd texture.

Honestly though, we rarely have enough for leftovers – Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings is just that good!

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
