Chicken and Stuffing. Easy Instant Pot Recipe

If you crave Thanksgiving all year round, then you will love this Instant Pot Chicken and Stuffing recipe. Moist chicken breast, flavorful stuffing, and fresh steamed green beans round out this delicious comfort dinner made right in your pressure cooker.

I know, I know…Thanksgiving is known for the turkey buuuut it tastes like chicken and for that reason, this dish is very reminiscent of Thanksgiving dinner with the stuffing and green beans all cooked in the same pot. Also, every time I make this dish I just happen to serve it up with cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes too…it’s my quick version of that all-day long turkey day meal!

If you’ve followed along with me here over the last several years, you will remember that I shared one of our favorite crockpot recipes called Thanksgiving Dinner in a Crockpot a while back. We absolutely looooove this meal and when I got my Instant Pot, I knew I had to be able to make it in it even faster than the crockpot. After toying around with the recipe a bit, I found some ratios that did the trick and made everything come out perfectly!

And on a side note, you can still make the crockpot version in your Instant Pot! Just use the slow cooker function if you desire a longer cook time! 

To make this recipe you will need an Instant Pot. We have this one and I think it is perfect for our family of 6! Any other pressure cooker would surely do too, just make sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions!
