One bite of this creamy, classic chicken dish, and you will be in love with this Instant Pot pot pie. 

This shortcut version of pot pie cooks up in a hurry so you can enjoy the slow-cooked taste of tender chicken and veggies in a flavorful gravy in almost no time at all. Go from fridge to table in about 30 minutes! Just as delicious as this Instant Pot Tortellini Soup and Instant Pot Chicken And Spaghetti.

This dish isn’t quite the same as a traditional pot pie. It’s not baked into a crust, so you’ll want to cook up some biscuits to serve alongside. You can use canned biscuits or make fresh biscuits.

Why Make This Recipe

• Easy – This easy recipe cooks in about 30 minutes.
• Tasty – Tender chicken, veggies, and potatoes in creamy gravy is delicious comfort food. 
• Affordable – Use less chicken and bulk this out with lots of veggies for an inexpensive dish that doesn’t skimp on flavor. 

Ingredient Notes

• Chicken – The recipe calls for diced chicken breast, but you can substitute diced thigh meat or canned chicken. This is also a great recipe for using leftover chicken.
• Veggies – Any kind of potato will work in this recipe. We’re using onions, carrots, and peas. You could also add green beans, corn, or lima beans. 
• Chicken Stock – Chicken stock will lend a lot of flavor to this dish, but you can use vegetable stock or water. 
• Milk – No milk? Just use water or stock instead. The Chicken Pot Pie may not be quite as creamy, but it will still be delicious.

1. Add the chicken, veggies (except for the peas), and stock to the Instant Pot and cover, turn the valve to sealing, and set to manual / high pressure for 6 minutes.
2. Perform a quick pressure release, open the lid, toss in the peas and stir.
3. Combine the flour and milk in a bowl and pour into the Instant Pot. 
4. Set to sauté and cook until thickened. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. 

Note: Recipe time does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure.

Tips For Success

• Add the peas after you pressure cook the rest of the ingredients, or they will be mushy.
• Make sure the potatoes are not cut too small otherwise they will just disintegrate. Use at least 1 inch or more sized cubes.

Variations

• Top it Off – Serve with canned biscuits, crescent rolls, or puff pastry.
• Make it a Traditional Pot Pie – Pour the filling into a dish and top with pie crust. Bake until the crust is brown and the filling is bubbly.
• Add Herbs – Add a bit of fresh thyme or a sprinkle of your favorite dried herb blend. 

Budget-Friendly Tips 

• Cook Once, Eat Twice – Double the recipe and freeze the leftovers for later use. 
• Buy Chicken in Bulk – Buying chicken in larger packages is usually less expensive. Buy it in bulk and freeze it in single portions for later use. 
• Freeze Veggies – If you have extra carrots, peas, or onions that you don’t use for this recipe, you can freeze them for later.
• Make Your Own Stock –  Save chicken bones and veggie peels in the freezer. When you have enough to fill a pot, add water and boil to make stock. Stock can also be frozen. 

Make Ahead and Storage

• Make Ahead – Make this Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Soup up to 24 hours in advance and reheat it in the microwave or on the stove when you are ready to eat.
• Store – Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. 
• Freeze – Follow the handy tips below for how to freeze these; Allow the pot pie to cool and pour into a gallon freezer bag or another freezer-safe container. Lay flat to freeze and store for up to three months. 
• Defrost – overnight in the fridge and reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
