Instant Pot Chicken and Mushrooms

Instant Pot Chicken Breasts with Mushrooms is classic comfort food. Perfectly tender chicken breasts smothered in a rich and creamy mushroom sauce cooked in one pot make this the perfect recipe for busy weeknights. 

This Instant Pot Chicken Breasts with Mushrooms is so easy to make and the tender, juicy chicken, and the creamy mushroom sauce, make it a family favorite.

It’s similar to a baked chicken with mushrooms recipe my mom made when I was growing up, except she used a can of cream of mushroom soup and an oven, and mine is made with Instant Pot chicken breasts and a homemade creamy mushroom sauce that is so much better than the stuff from a can!

Hi I’m Kat from Home. Made. Interest.! There is nothing better on a busy weeknight than quick and easy comfort food. If you like this Instant Pot Chicken Breasts with Mushrooms make sure you give my Instant Pot Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy, and Instant Pot Butter Chicken a try.

The great thing about Instant Pot chicken breasts is that, after the browning, the chicken only has to cook about 8 minutes, which gives you perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, chicken. No need to worry about over-cooking, or drying out your chicken breasts when you’re pressure cooking.

I’m not going to lie, the mushroom sauce is my favorite part. It is made using the stock that the chicken and mushrooms are cooked in, with the addition of a little heavy cream, and a slurry of cornstarch and water. As you bring the sauce to a boil the cornstarch thickens it into a smooth, rich gravy that perfectly coats the chicken.

I like to serve it all over some white rice. I spoon a little extra mushroom sauce over the rice, place the chicken and a little more sauce on top, and dinner it serve. It’s a really simple, but totally delicious Instant Pot chicken breasts recipe that everyone in the family will love.

Helpful Tips to make Instant Pot Chicken Breasts with Mushrooms:

• Make sure you brown the chicken breasts really well to give them a nice color and to help seal in the juices.
• You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts if you prefer dark meat. Just make sure you brown them well. 
• Make sure you deglaze the bottom of the Instant Pot with the chicken stock before adding your chicken breasts back into the pot. This will ensure that nothing burns on the bottom of the pot during the pressure cooking portion. 
• I suggest white button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms for this recipe but you can substitute with another mushroom if you prefer. 

What you will need to make Instant Pot Chicken Breasts with Mushrooms:

• Instant Pot – The Instant Pot is a total time-saver for so many great recipes!
• Silicone Spoon – A silicone spoon is perfect for deglazing the pot and stirring the sauce as it thickens.
• Good chicken stock - this is my favorite. It is flavorful and not too salty. I buy it atmy local grocery store and Walmart.

Enjoy!
