Making chicken pot pie in the instant pot

It’s incredibly easy to make chicken pot pie in your pressure cooker. The only thing that doesn’t turn out great is an actual pie crust because it doesn’t come out crispy and flakey. That’s why we share this hack for topping your pot pie with biscuits and finishing the pot pie casserole in the oven.

Does it make good leftovers?

Yes, this is great recipe to eat again on a second day or eat for lunch over a couple of days. Keep in mind, that leftovers only stay fresh in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. If you plan on storing it longer than 3 days, we recommend freezing it?

What is the difference between chicken pot pie and chicken and dumplings?

These two recipes are very similar. The biggest difference is chicken and dumplings is cooked with the biscuits ripped into pieces and cooked on top of the filling and is a bit more soup-like.

Chicken pot pie with biscuits is made by cooking the filling in the instant pot and then transferring the filling to the oven and baking it with biscuits on top. If you are looking for a delicious chicken and biscuits recipe, try our recipe for instant pot chicken and dumplings.
