Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 larger breasts)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup celery (diced)
  • 1 cup carrot (cut in 1/4 inch thick small circles)
  • 1 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic (finely minced)
  • 2 cups Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and cut into quarters for removing later)

Liquids and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups chicken broth (or bone broth, low sodium)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond milk, whole milk, or any milk)

Herbs and Spices

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Instant Pot: Set your Instant Pot to the regular sauté function. Add olive oil and lightly sear the chicken breasts on each side for about 2 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside; it won’t be fully cooked yet.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add celery, carrot, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, dried parsley, basil, and rosemary to the pot. Sauté for about 2 minutes until vegetables become slightly translucent. Stir in the small-cut potatoes.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetable and potato mixture. Then, add the large potato quarters on top. Pour in the chicken broth.
  4. Pressure Cook: Seal the Instant Pot and set to high pressure (manual on older models) for 9 minutes. After cooking, allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
  5. Remove Large Potatoes and Chicken: Carefully take out the large potato quarters and chicken breasts from the pot.
  6. Blend Potatoes: In a blender, combine large potato quarters, milk, and 1/2 cup of broth from the pot until smooth. Pour this creamy mixture back into the Instant Pot.
  7. Shred Chicken: Shred the cooked chicken breasts on a cutting board, then add the shredded chicken back into the pot.
  8. Combine and Serve: Stir everything together thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
  9. Alternative Crockpot Method: Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté celery, carrot, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, dried parsley, and basil for 2 minutes until translucent (optional but recommended). Layer raw chicken, sautéed vegetables, potatoes, and chicken broth in the crockpot. Cook on low for 6 hours. Follow blending, shredding, and combining steps as above before serving.
  10. Alternative Stovetop Method: Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté celery, carrot, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, dried parsley, basil, and rosemary for 2 minutes until translucent. Add raw chicken, potatoes, and chicken broth. Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer on medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Proceed with blending, shredding, and combining steps before serving.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk in this recipe, including almond, whole, or skim based on preference.
  • Searing chicken before cooking adds flavor but is optional if short on time.

  • Seasoning amounts can be adjusted for taste; start with the given measurements and add more if desired.
  • The recipe can be prepared using an Instant Pot, slow cooker, or stovetop depending on your available equipment.
  • Use low sodium broth to control salt content.
