Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic dried
  • 1/2 tsp minced onion dried
  • 1 tsp parsley dried
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 frozen chicken tenders
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Pour the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, onion, and parsley into the Instant Pot liner.
  • Add the chicken tenders to the pot. 
  • Peel and dice the potatoes and place in a steamer basket. 
  • Place the steamer basket on top of the chicken in the Instant Pot. 
  • Cook on manual HIGH for 6 minutes, allow for a 6 minute NPR.
  • Remove the potatoes from the Instant Pot and mash the potatoes. I like to add 2 tbsp of butter and 1/4 cup of milk to the potatoes as I mash them. Then I season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and set aside.
  • Turn the Instant Pot onto saute. Create the cornstarch slurry with the cornstarch and water.
  • Once the gravy is boiling, SLOWLY add the cornstarch slurry. Add only until the gravy is thickened to your liking. You may have some left over or you might not have quite enough, it just depends on how thick you like your gravy!
  • Serve hot!
