Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Sauté the Base: Turn your Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
- 2. Add the Chicken: Stir in boneless chicken breasts along with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- 3. Pour in the Broth: Carefully add low-sodium chicken broth while scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
- 4. Pressure Cook: Close the lid securely and set the pressure valve to sealing. Select high pressure and cook for 10 minutes. Allow for a natural release for 5 minutes before performing a quick release.
- 5. Make Dumpling Dough: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, milk, salt, and pepper until just combined.
- 6. Drop Dumplings into Broth: Shred the chicken using two forks directly in the pot. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling mixture onto the bubbling broth without stirring. Close the lid again and cook on high pressure for another 5 minutes before releasing pressure.
- 7. Serve: Spoon into bowls or serve directly from the pot for a cozy meal.
