Cooking Instructions

On a 6 or 8-quart Instant Pot, select the “sauté” mode. Add Unsalted Butter (1 Tbsp) , Yellow Onion (1) , Celery (3 stalks) , Carrots (3) , and Kosher Salt (1 tsp) and stir. Cook until the onions are translucent, approximately 7 minutes.

Stir in All-Purpose Flour (1 Tbsp) , Italian Seasoning (2 tsp) , Cajun Seasoning (2 tsp) , Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp) , and Bay Leaf (1) and cook for 2 minutes.

Turn off the Instant Pot, stir in the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (1 lb) , Chicken Stock (2 1/2 cups) , and Hot Sauce (1 Tbsp) , and scrape the bottom of the pot to get up any brown bits.

Secure the lid and set the pressure valve to “sealing.” Select “manual” mode and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. (Takes 10 minutes to build pressure before the timer starts)

Once done cooking, perform a quick release by carefully setting the pressure valve to “venting.” Remove the lid and select “sauté” mode to bring it to a simmer.

Add in the Buttermilk Biscuits (1 can) use a spoon to submerge them into the liquid, and allow them to cook for 5 minutes.

Stir in Heavy Cream (1 cup) and break up the dumplings. Spoon into bowls and garnish with Fresh Parsley (4 Tbsp) .
