Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 cups golden potatoes, diced
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough

Directions

Step 1

Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once hot, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in the Instant Pot.

Step 4

Add the chicken broth, carrots, celery, peas, and diced potatoes to the pot.

Step 5

Lock the lid, set the valve to 'sealing,' and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.

Step 6

While the chicken mixture cooks, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for later.

Step 7

Once the high pressure cycle is done, allow a natural release for 5 minutes, then carefully do a quick release.

Step 8

Remove the chicken breasts and shred them with two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until thickened. Stir in salt, pepper, and thyme, then pour the mixture into the Instant Pot and mix well.

Step 11

Transfer the creamy chicken mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 12

Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and place the biscuits on top of the mixture.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Step 14

Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Casserole!
