Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings

hello IP people hello potheads hello pressure cookers hello my instant pot friends well chicken and dumplings that's pretty much a comfort food that you can eat any time of the year and now thanks to the instant pot you can have it any day of the week so today on the spicy a for cooking show we are making chicken and dumplings the easy way for pot heads just say chicken and dumplings is definitely one of the most talked about the most asked for recipes on all of the instant pot Facebook groups that I belong to so we were gonna make that today and it's really easy this is a very very simplified version of chicken and dumplings but it's fantastic so let's get started the first thing you have to do is set your instant pot to saute let it get hot until the display reads high and then add a little bit of olive oil to your hot pan and we're going to saute some veggies the classics right carrots celery and onions so when you have your classic veggies in here just go ahead and stir them up and just go ahead and saute that until they're a little bit soft maybe three or four minutes once your veggies are a little bit soft then you just add a pound of chicken tenders again this is a really simplified version so just dumping in the chicken tenders that I have cut into bite-size pieces and I'm gonna give those a good stir now they do not need to be fully cooked at this point just go ahead and saute them a little bit to give it a little bit of browning flavor from the sauteed fifties there are so many wonderful things about the instant I'm one of the best things is the ability to take a meal that used to take hours and hours and hours to get this great homemade taste and have it out the door in like 20 minutes and this is definitely one of those recipes you don't even need to tell anybody how easy it is it really is one of the easiest things you can do in the instant pot and it honestly tastes like you've been slaving over a stove all day long but you have it now that the chicken is browned a little bit on all sides add the seasonings it's just salt and pepper and thyme and if you want the full recipe of course you know to go to the spicy ENCOM there is a link below make it easy for you plus the seasonings are fully incorporated sprinkle some flour on it this is what's going to give it a nice rich creamy texture when it's all done now you do want to go ahead and cook the flour down a little bit to not have such a flour you taste in your final meal it's really easy to do it takes about two minutes again keeping here it's been putt on saute mode just stir it about a minute until the flour cooks and becomes incorporated with the chicken and veggies now a lot of you know that I am doing this demonstration in the instant pot mini some of you might have the full size the reason I'm doing it in the mini today is because I have just written an instant authorized cookbook the link is below right now it is available for pre-order on Amazon but may burst it will be out and in the stores for you okay so the flour is cooking down a little bit it's absorbed into the chicken and the veggies to give it a nice creamy texture at the end this stuff is very important you must deglaze the bottom of the pan because you don't want it to burn so for about 1/2 a cup of the chicken broth into the pan and just make sure you scrape it around and clean the bottom of the pan very well ok so as you can see the bottom of the pan has been fully deglaze and I can now add the rest of give it a good stir and the last thing we're going to do and again I did say this is a very simplified version of chicken and dumplings I am using canned biscuits if you have a secret special biscuit recipe dumpling recipe please feel free to use that that will work just as well but for purposes of again making this a very easy weeknight meal that you can do anywhere we actually do this in our RV a lot I take it in some pot with us camping and this has quickly become one of our favorites on a cold evening back to the canned biscuit so I have what are the small cans all of the biscuits are cut into fourths swish them together a little bit to make it look a little bit I don't know don't work but it tastes good anyway you just very carefully set them inside your instant pot it can be touching you don't want to cram them in there though go ahead and layer them in and then we are going to set the timer for eight minutes and then that's about it okay the biscuits are in and make sure you cancel your sauteed function we're gonna put the lid on make sure that the vent is pointed toward ceiling depending on your model that can be straight back or off to the side this lentils off to the corner a little bit there then set your timer to pressure cook for eight minutes that's it it's all going to be cooked we're gonna add a few extra surprise ingredients once we take the lid off and you will be amazed at how fantastic this version of chicken and dumplings is all right so the chicken and dumplings cooked for eight minutes and then I let it naturally release for about ten minutes now if you don't know what that is the video that explains some tips that is one of them oh let's go ahead and look at our chicken and dumplings Oh see how those biscuits poof up dumplings and chicken and dumplings actually get steamed which is why it's perfect for the instant pot and so that is what you're looking at the steamed biscuits now what I like to do at the end is add some peas this gives it that very traditional chicken and dumpling flavor so just kind of take a little hole in there between your dumplings you don't want to smoosh them and add your piece and in addition to the peas because we really want this to be creamy fold the cream and the peas together in the chicken and dumplings and as soon as it is blended then we just serve it up and my goal at the spicy apron is to give you a lot of really good really tasty really simple meals that you can make either at home or on the road in your RV or wherever you are so if I've done that with this go ahead and if you would just give me a thumbs up maybe a subscribe if you would like my recipes I have a lot of instant pot recipes right here on this channel just go to the playlist called instant pot now let's serve this up yes I know look at how delicious that is it's creamy it's chickeny it's got peas and carrots and celery and onions it is classic it's got the biscuits which we can call them dumplings now the thing has been steamed and there you have it a really really easy version of chicken
