Instant Pot 3-Ingredient Chicken and Gravy

chicken broth

chicken

(1.25 oz) packet onion soup mix

(10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

Add water or broth into the Instant Pot. Add in the chicken. Sprinkle the onion soup mix on top of chicken. Dump cream of mushroom soup on top of chicken. Do not stir.

Cover and make sure the valve is on &#8220;sealing.&#8221; Set the timer on manual (high pressure) for 15 minutes. When the timer beeps let the pressure release naturally for 5-10 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure by moving the valve to &#8220;venting.&#8221; Remove the lid.

Use a spoon to break up the chicken. Serve chicken and gravy over potatoes, noodles, toast, biscuits or rice.

Hi Karen: 
Long time browser, first time commenter here. 

Would frozen bone-in thighs work? How much more time, etc... to pluck &amp; plate this clever cluck?

This recipe was so easy and delicious! It was my first time using the instant pot so I wanted to try something easy. This did not disappoint! I will definitely be making again!

This turned out really good I gave it a 4 b/c I made some changes to it. I used boneless skinless chicken breast, added poultry seasoning, a bullion cube, and 1-1/2c of chicken stock. My family loved it excited for leftovers.

This was so good and easy. I used only 2 chicken breasts, so cooked for 9 minutes and it came out perfectly. Thanks so much!

I followed the directions, added some garlic powder and poultry seasoning, and it is DELICIOUS! No problems, no “burn” signal. PERFECT! Thanks soooo much for an easy, nutritious, and delicious recipe!!!!

I'm new at this my son got me a 12qt gowise and I cant find recipes for a gowise ever.how much liquid needs to be in a 12 qt pressure cooker when in use ?

Do I need to up the cooking time if I am doubling the recipe?

This was absolutely, 100%,  the worst pressure cooker/Insta pot recipe I have ever had! The chicken was rubbery, the liquid was broth consistency  and it had absolutely no flavor! I will never serve or cook this again! So disappointed!

Well, Kelli, from one user to another, it was either your error, or a faulty pressure cooker. I’m brand new to pressure cookers, but an accomplished cook. The use of onion soup mix + cream of mushroom soup alongside chicken is very popular. This recipe for the pressure cooker, exactly as written, comes out beautifully if done correctly. Try, try again! You can do it! Don’t give up. *thumbs up*

This came out really good!  I used a mix of frozen breast and frozen chicken tenderloins. The only thing I changed was I added about a half a cup more chicken broth and About a 1/4 package more onion soup  mix. I  I cooked  19 minutes but I really think  17 to 18 minutes probably would’ve been fine. At the end I took out the chicken and added a cornstarch slurry and serve it over rice made in the instant pot with chicken broth butter and a little bit of the gravy. It took me out !!!! A keeper!

This was the first thing I cooked in mine! I used ranch seasoning instead of onion powder with potatoes and rolls on the side omg my whole family loves it!

I really like this recipe. I modified it some and loved the results. I took 1 c water, 3 frozen thighs, put a packet of Lipton onions soup onto them. Added about 3 handfuls of organic kale, 1/2 on and 3 pieces cut celery. Added a can cream of chicken soup and at the last minute decided to add quinoa. I rinsed a cup quinoa and put it on top and added 1 1/2 c water to my 8 quart instant pot. Super good. The quinoa added protein and fiber and made it a nice gravy. Since ck was frozen put it on 25 min. Very hearty. Thanks for recipe! I’m a newby but tend to try and squealer in veggies at every turn.

Super easy &amp; super delicious! Turn it into low carb &amp; mix with steamed broccoli.

Wow........this is an awesome recipe!  I used chicken broth instead of water &amp; cream of chicken soup because hubby hates mushroom anything..... and it turned out just delicious.  The 'juice' left over was a bit thin, so I just put some cold water &amp; a couple Tbsp. flour in a jar, shook it well, put the pot on 'saute' and thickened it into a wonderful gravy.. (I added some garlic salt too)  The chicken is sooooo tender!  I will try it next with breast meat I think.  THANKS KAREN.  (Other than hard boiling eggs this is the first thing I've made in my IP)

How long for frozen boneless skinless thighs?

I made this recipe tonight with golden mushroom soup instead of cream of mushroom soup and it's so good.

I made this but added fresh mushrooms, was just delicious.   I do a lot of your instant pot meals.  Thank you,

This recipe was wonderfully easy and great. Next time I make it I will probably thicken it but it was wonderful just the was it was.

OMG Karen!  I saw this recipe a few days ago when you re-sent it as an easy recipe using items in your pantry.  It did not disappoint!  I was a little apprehensive because I have done chicken breast/tenderloins many times in the IP but they tend to turn out too dry for my taste (and the hubs too).  Also, I've NEVER used the onion soup mix before so that made me question it...but I have faith in you so I was willing to try it as is.

When I first opened the IP after the NPR and saw my chicken thighs, I thought, "Oh, they're overcooked (they shrank A LOT)". But after putting them on the table and serving them with some mashed potatoes, that's when the comments started.  My husband said, "Wow, these are really good" and wound up having three helpings...and my picky 5 yr old even wound up eating a whole thigh.  THAT'S what sold me on the recipe. It's officially been requested next week! 🙂

Thanks Karen for sending this out...it was a hit in our house!

I made this tonight with chicken breasts and mashed potatoes as a side! Easy, tasty, and quick dinner! Thank you for the recipe!

So good! Easy, quick and cheap to feed a family. We doubled recipe so my husband can have meals out on the truck.  I like it over mashed potatoes and he likes it over noodles.  Thank you for the recipe, especially during this national lockdown.

Would this work the same with frozen thighs or should I thaw them first?

This was such an easy and amazing dish.  It's going to be a regular rotation and so fast to put together and cook!! Everything I've tried of yours is fantastic!  Glad I found your site a while back.

I want you all to know that this is one of the most delicious recipes I have ever tested! Sorry, I didn't use the Instant pot this time, not because I don't love the IP, but I put it in the oven in a dutch oven while I while I was baking some chicken legs. I used bone-in chicken thighs, and cooked it at 400 degrees, covered, for one hour, then at 350 degrees, covered, for another hour. It was golden and absolutely irresistable! It made it's own gravy. I even had to take a picture, just wish I could post it here!

Tried this tonight.  It was amazing.  Made a few changes (I hate when ppl say that) BUT I only had cream of chicken and I added a slurry at the end to thicken and that is strictly a personal choice  The flavors were on point and so incredibly easy.   My husband served over fries and I did over bread (PA Dutch thing)   Highly recommend!!

I'm new to cooking with the Instant Pot, and this recipe was WONDERFUL! Easy to do/follow and everyone loved it!! Next time I was hoping to add some whole, small potatoes with it. Would I need to add any time or extra liquid to it? Sorry if this was asked before, but too many great comments to read through them all :)

Could this recipe be used with skin on thighs?
Thanks

Hi Karen
I've commented on this before.  Excellent dish!!!

 I passed the recipe and your website to my niece. She has the 8 qt Instant Pot. She was asking me if she needs more liquid broth than we would use for the 6 at model. Do you know the answer to that?

By the way, this time I added a bit of diluted cornstarch to thicken the gravy which made it much better on mashed potatoes.

Thank you Karen for the wonderful recipe. I have a 8 quart pressure cooker.   I used 2 cups of chicken broth.   I added onion and celery.  I only had beefy onion soup mix on hand.  
I sautéed the onion and celery first then turned sauté off.  Did the recipe like you said.  I also added a can of mushrooms.  And some Idaho potatoes on the top.  It was absolutely wonderful and quick and easy.  Again, thank you so much and I hope you and your family are well.  Have a blessed day.

Hi! I have made this recipe a few times and (like many others) usually add a little flour at the end to thicken up the gravy. It is a hit in my house! Can the chicken be cooked in a separate instant pot so the gravy is vegetarian-friendly? My daughter usually tries to work around the chicken but it gets so tender that it falls apart in the gravy. First time I've ever had a problem with chicken being TOO tender! :)
