We’ve been waiting the last several weeks to make this chicken stroganoff recipe.  It always seemed a bit more complicated than I was hoping for so I continued to put it off.  Boy was I wrong.  It’s far easier than we thought it might be thanks to the pressure cooker.  

We tried this receipe for the first time as Instant Pot Meatball Stroganoff and the family loved it so much we thought why not adjust slightly and make it with chicken this go around.  

This recipe is so rich and creamy!  I hope your family loves it just as much as ours does!  It’s packed with fresh ingredients including boneless skinless chicken breasts, slicked mushrooms, chicken or beef broth, cream cheese or sour cream, Parmesan cheese and more!  I can almost guarantee this easy chicken stroganoff recipe will be a new family favorite.  

Now, let’s get to the good stuff – the details on this incredible Instant Pot Chicken Stroganoff!  Make it for your family and watch them come running for seconds!

TIPS FOR MAKING CHICKEN STROGANOFF IN YOUR INSTANT POT: 

• This recipe will make a good amount of gravy.  My family loves a good hearty dish of gravy over the pasta noodles so feel free to lessen the ingredients below, if needed. 
• This recipe can be stored for several days as leftovers.  It tastes just as good the next day as fresh!  Although, I’d be surprised if there are any leftovers at all. 
• If you choose to use frozen chicken, note it may take the Instant Pot a tad more time to come to pressure compared with thawed chicken.
• Also, you’ll notice I don’t cook the egg noodles in the Instant Pot.  The shells have a tendency to absorb too much of the sauce.  Instead, I cook on the stove top for about 5 minutes.

• 1 tablespoon Thyme 
• Salt and pepper to taste
