Follow The Directions

01

Step

Season chicken with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Combine chicken breast and 2 cups stock in an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Turn on the pressure cooker and select Stew function. Set timer for 25 minutes. Allow time for pressure to build, 5 to 10 minutes.

02

Step

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Set pressure cooker to Saute function and allow broth to come to a boil. Shred chicken meat using 2 forks.

03

Step

Add frozen dumpling wrappers to the broth, stirring often to prevent sticking together. Add shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, and remaining stock to the pressure cooker. Add salt and pepper to taste. Close and lock the lid and set pressure cooker to Stew function. Set timer for 10 minutes. Allow time for pressure to build, 5 to 10 minutes.

04

Step

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock lid; stir in peas and carrots and allow to sit until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken breast in the pressure cooker before adding the stock.
Fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, can elevate the dish with their aromatic notes. Add them during the last few minutes of cooking.
Adjust the amount of salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat.
For a thicker broth, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the pressure cooker during the last minute of cooking.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables. Diced celery, onions, or mushrooms can add depth to the flavor profile.

    I used low-sodium cream of chicken soup and it was still very flavorful.

    The natural pressure release took longer than expected, but it was worth it. The chicken was so tender.
