Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Chicken Stew with Grains.
Step 1
To start your delicious Instant Pot stew, set your device to the 'Sauté' function and add a generous pat of salted butter.
Step 2
Let it melt and fill your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, toss in some diced onion and minced garlic.
Step 4
Sauté these fragrant ingredients for about three minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic releases its delightful scent.
Step 5
Next, stir in a mix of ancient grains, along with sliced carrots and celery.
Step 6
Give everything a good mix to ensure all the ingredients are well combined and ready to shine.
Step 7
Now, pour in some unsalted chicken stock and add in your cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken.
Step 8
Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then cancel the 'Sauté' function.
Step 9
Secure the lid of your Instant Pot, making sure it’s locked in place.
Step 10
Select 'High Pressure' and set the timer for 20 minutes.
Step 11
As the pressure builds—this will take about 10 to 15 minutes—take a moment to appreciate the wonderful smells wafting from your pot.
Step 12
Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes.
Step 13
After that, carefully use the quick-release method to let out any remaining steam, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 14
When it’s safe to do so, unlock and remove the lid, revealing a hearty stew that’s ready for the next step.
Step 15
To add a touch of creaminess, stir in some heavy cream until it’s fully incorporated.
Step 16
Select the 'Sauté' function once more and gently heat the stew, stirring occasionally until the cream is warmed through.
Step 17
This final touch transforms your stew into a comforting bowl of goodness that’s perfect for sharing with family or enjoying on a cozy night in.
Step 18
Enjoy every spoonful of your homemade creation!.
