Instant Pot Chicken & Dumplings

-


This week in "Friday in the Kitchen" I'm sharing my recipe for Instant Pot Chicken & Dumplings.

This was delicious! We all enjoyed it so much. And it was super easy to make.

I started by putting carrots, celery, onions and boneless, skinless chicken thighs (chicken breasts would work too). My chicken was still mostly frozen. I added water, and seasonings. I don't use store bought chicken broth because my hubby has reactions to MSG. I did not have any homemade broth, so just used water and extra salt and it was perfect. 

 

I cooked the chicken & veggies for 15 minutes on “manual”. When it was done I let the pressure release on its own for about 10 minutes and then did a quick release.

When I opened the lid I shredded the chicken added some milk and butter. 
I then made the dumplings using Bisquick. It was quick and simple. Dumplings are basically drop biscuits, so you can also make them from scratch. 

 


I turned the IP on “saute” and let the chicken & veggies come to a boil. I then dropped spoonfuls of the dough into the pot. I left the lid off, and let them simmer for about 10 minutes. 

 

As I said, this was delicious and will be on my menu again this fall! 

 



Instant Pot Chicken & Dumplings
2lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
2 cups water or chicken stock
1 cup sliced carrots
¾ cup sliced celery
1 small onion, cut up
2t salt, you can use less if you are using chicken broth (taste and add to your own liking)
½ t pepper
1t granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
1 cup whole milk
2T butter


Dumplings
2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk

Put chicken, water, veggies and seasonings in the Instant Pot. Put the lid on, set the knob on the top to “Sealing”. Press “Manual” and set the time for 15 minutes. When the time is up, press “Cancel” and let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then turn the knob to “Vent” and release the rest of the pressure. Remove the lid, and shred the chicken. Add the milk and butter and stir to mix and let the butter melt.

While your chicken is cooking combine the Bisquick and milk. When the chicken is done cooking and the milk and butter have been added press “Saute” and allow it to come to a boil.

Drop the biscuit mix by spoonfuls into the chicken and let them simmer for 10 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

      I'm sure you can make chicken n dumplings in a crockpot.. I have not done this, so would have to rethink any needed changes in the above recipe. I do have a stove top recipe that I've made many times.. this is making it from scratch.. you can sub the Bisquick dumplings for the homemade if you would rather.. http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/chickenndumplings.htm

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

-
Image
Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this ...

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine...

Canning Beef Stew

In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals ( http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-more-crockpot-meals-for-freezer.html ) . I used the other 6 pounds of meat along with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery to can beef stew. Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef 2# potatoes 2# carrots 1# onions 1# celery After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery. I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don’t hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my ...
