Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 pounds (907 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) ground black pepper
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 2 (2) packets chicken gravy mix 0.87 ounces each
  • 2 cups (473 ml) low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Place it in the inner pot.
  • Spread the cream of chicken soup on top of the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the chicken gravy mix over the top. Pour on the chicken broth. Do not stir.
  • Close and lid and set the vent to sealing (if necessary for your model). Cook on high pressure for 6 minutes. When done, allow a natural release of pressure (about 10 minutes). When the pin drops, open the lid.
  • Remove chicken from the pot and shred with two forks. Whisk the gravy and allow it to thicken for about 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pot to warm up.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of salt, garlic powder, and black pepper based on your personal preference. Taste the gravy before serving and add more seasoning if needed.
  • Opting for low-sodium chicken broth and cream of chicken soup allows you to control the salt content and prevents the dish from becoming too salty.
  • Break up chunks of gravy mix after you dump it into the Instant Pot.
  • Whisk the finished gravy to mix any areas where the gravy didn't get incorporated.
  • Sprinkle freshly chopped herbs like parsley or thyme over the dish just before serving to add a pop of freshness.
  • If you want to have leftovers or meal prep for the week, simply double the recipe and adjust the cooking time as needed.
