PRESSURE COOKER CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
It doesn't get more comforting than a simmering pot of chicken and soft, fluffy dumplings. This one is relatively classic, though I've added some chives to the dumplings for color and freshness. But feel free to leave them out for something more traditionally beige. Or stir in a handful of thawed frozen peas at the end for sweetness and a touch of green. I prefer using all dark meat here-a combination of drumsticks and thighs gives great flavor and won't overcook as readily as white meat. But use whatever pieces you like, or a combination. If using all white meat, cook it for a minute or two less.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the salt and pepper. Let them sit for 20 minutes.
- Using the sauté function, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pressure cooker. Add the chicken pieces, in batches, and brown them on all sides until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pressure cooker and stir in the carrots, celery, onion, turnip, and garlic cloves. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Then stir in the flour and cook until the mixture starts to turn golden, about another 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot, and nestle the browned chicken into the vegetables. Cover and cook on high pressure for 13 minutes, and then release the pressure manually. Transfer the chicken pieces to a plate, reserving the broth in the pot. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the bones and skin if you like, and tear the meat into chunks.
- Meanwhile, make the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, chives if using, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the melted butter and the milk into the flour mixture, and stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the broth in the pot, spacing them evenly across the surface. Cover and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Test the dumplings by cutting into one and making sure it's cooked all the way through. If not, turn the sauté function on and simmer the dumplings until they are done.
- Stir the chicken back into the pot to warm it up, and serve it topped with parsley leaves.

INSTANT POT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS | PRESSURE COOKER
Pressure cooker recipe for Chicken and Dumplings. Very easy to modify to stove top cooking. This has become a family favorite, and is requested over Grandma's Pennsylvania Dutch recipe (shhhh). ** NEW NOTE**. This recipe was created with my small 2qt pressure cooker. You should adjust ingredient + liquid ratios depending on the size of your cooker. If dumplings are not cooked through for you - you may need to return your pot to pressure, or continue to boil uncovered. It just depends on your preferred method. (You can also boil dumplings on the side in chicken broth while the rest of the recipe is cooking under pressure).

Steps:
- Heat butter on high in pressure cooker until melted and sizzling. Generously season chicken with salt and pepper, put in pressure cooker with lid off and cook until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion, stock, celery, carrots, thyme, poultry seasoning and pepper. Secure lid and cook on high 8 minutes. Perform quick release, remove lid, set to high, or brown, add corn and let simmer. Whisk Bisquick and milk together and drop by spoonfuls into pot. Let simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in heavy cream and add salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes I don't add the heavy cream, I taste the dumplings first and judge from there.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. You can also use a whole chicken, but you'll need to cut it up into smaller pieces.
- Season the chicken well: Before cooking, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the overall taste of the dish. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a good body, such as chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the chicken and dumplings to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. Otherwise, the dumplings will not cook evenly.
- Cook the dumplings until they are fluffy: The dumplings should be cooked until they are fluffy and light. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
Conclusion:
Electric pressure cooker chicken and dumplings is a delicious and easy meal that can be made in just a few minutes. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chicken and dumplings turn out perfect every time. Enjoy a comforting and flavorful meal that the whole family will love!
