The best Chicken Pot Pie you’ll ever taste!!

Chicken Pot Pie was never my favorite until after my first was born My cute sister-in-law had us over for dinner and she served, honestly, the best chicken pot pie I have ever put in my mouth.

I immediately got the recipe, tweaked it a little and have been making it ever since. The only problem is, it takes literally HOURS to make start to finish. No matter how bad I want it, I know I don’t have the time to spend hours in the kitchen making dinner anymore. #children Am I right?

Sharing this super quick version today seems appropriate because we added another member to our family over the weekend… car #2. ?

We have always been a 1 car family. I kind of pride myself on being able to fit 2 adults and 3 car-seated children in our little Honda Civic.

It was like our very own clown car.

Well, welcome to the family, new-to-me mid-sized SUV. Lets celebrate with some pot pie.

Instant Pot Meals

One of my very favorite things about this Instant Pot is the fact that most of the time I literally DUMP AND GO!

It’s magical, really! The fact that I can pour uncooked pasta, broth, cream and some seasonings into the Instant Pot and end up with perfectly al dente Alfredo 20 minutes later is pretty spectacular! Not to mention being able to make all sorts of things from pot roast to melt in your mouth Instant Pot Butter Chicken without spending all day in the kitchen.

How to make Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie

First, add chicken broth, minced onion, diced potatoes and petite baby carrots to the Instant Pot liner.

Season with salt and pepper.

Lay 6 fresh, uncooked chicken tenders on top of the veggies and broth.

If you do not have chicken tenders, cut 2 chicken breast into this strips, about 1/2-1 inch thick.

Cook on Manual (or pressure cook!) HIGH for 3 minutes, NPR for 6 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and shred. I like to use my electric mixer to shred the chicken! So fast and so easy!

Shred the chicken and set aside.

Add frozen peas to the Instant Pot and stir. Adding the peas frozen is extremely important!

Adding the frozen peas will cool the sauce down just enough to add milk in the next step without the milk curdling.

Pour in the milk and stir to combine. Turn the Instant Pot onto saute.

While the Instant Pot is heating everything back up to a boil, make a paste with room temperature butter and flour.

Once the Instant Pot is boiling, stir in the butter and flour paste to thicken the sauce.

Add in the shredded chicken- you are ready to serve!!

  1. I made this last night – the estimated time is laughable. I’d say overall time was an hour – which includes chopping, peeling, plus waiting for the pot to come to pressure and cook, and then the NPR time.

  2. Hi Meghan! Sometimes the time doesn’t save correctly in the recipe card, I just checked and it stated 11 minutes total, which isn’t correct at all. I’ve got it all fixed now. Thanks for the heads up!

  3. I made this recipe today, easy to follow. Agree with a previous post re it needs more flavor. Added some rosemary and lemon juice. Letting it sit to absorb that seasoning. Made the rue using gluten free flour and lactose free milk. Might be use coconut milk next time for a sweeter taste. Thanks for sharing the recipe 😊

  4. Gluten free flour worked for me! I used Pamela’s Artisan Flour because that’s what i had on hand. Served with homemade GF biscuits, YUM!!!
