Description
This Instant Pot chicken and gravy recipe has tender chicken breasts smothered in ranch gravy. It’s easy to make, comforting, and ready in just over 30 minutes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cold water
- 1 packet chicken gravy mix
Instructions
- Step 1: Add the chicken broth, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and pepper to your Instant Pot. Whisk until the powders have dissolved.
- Step 2: Add the chicken and ensure it’s mostly submerged (spoon some liquid over top if it’s not). Close the lid, ensure the valve is on “sealing”, and then set the timer to cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
- Step 3: Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes and then quick release the remaining pressure.
- Step 4: Take the chicken out of the Instant Pot. Mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. Pour it into your Instant Pot, along with the chicken gravy mix. Press the “sauté” button and whisk until the gravy mix has dissolved. The sauce will thicken within a few minutes, so turn the sauté function off (press the “keep warm” button) once it’s about as thick as you want it. Meanwhile, cut the chicken up, and then add it back into the Instant Pot.
- Step 5: Serve immediately.
Notes
4 medium-to-large chicken breasts total about 2 pounds. If the chicken breasts are very large, add another minute or two to the cook time. Use low-sodium chicken broth if salt is a concern.
