This step is optional. You can cook this recipe without the marinade, we just like a bit of extra flavoring.First, place bite size pieces of chicken in 1/2 of the bottle of Tony Chachere's Creole Style Butter Marinade. Let marinate in the fridge for an hour at the least. Once you are ready to start cooking drain the excess marinade out of chicken.Note- The bottle says injectable but I use it as a regular marinade and then use the other half of bottle for another recipe. Turn Instant Pot to saute and let it heat up. Toss in your vegetable/olive oil and chicken. Lightly brown your chicken on all sides.
Add Knorr Chicken Stock, Chicken Broth, and Water. Scrape any brown bits off of the bottom of the pot as you stir it all together.
If you like veggies in your chicken and dumplings this is when you add them in. (We like our carrots and celery cold on the side with ranch dip.)
Next, close the lid and turn the steam release valve to “sealing” position.
Then press “Pressure Cook” button. Next, press “Pressure Level” button until “High Pressure” is selected. Set the timer for 10 minutes. Once the pressure builds up the timer will start counting down.
Now you prepare your Bisquick while your chicken is pressure cooking. On Bisquick box there are instructions to make 8 biscuits. 8 biscuits will fill up your 8qt. Instant Pot with dumplings completely across the top. I cut it in half to make 4 dumplings which are just enough for four people. You measure the Bisquick and mix with milk per box directions. I take a spoon and separate it out in 4 or 8 equally portioned sections so it is ready as soon as we are done pressure cooking.
After the timer has completed turn the steam release valve to “Venting” for a quick release of steam. **Warning – steam being released is very hot, use a towel to turn release valve so it does not burn you.
Turn Instant Pot back on "Saute". Drop you spoonfuls of Bisquick in the instant pot. You can rest the lid back on top for about two minutes. Then, take a spoon and flip your dumplings over and just rest the lid on top for about another three minutes.Note - The Bisquick/dumplings will thicken up your chicken broth as the Bisquick is cooking in step#9. Lastly, dinner is ready to be served!
