Pressure Cooker Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Food

PRESSURE COOKER / INSTANT POT CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• If you are making homemade pie crust, combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Cut the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles a very coarse meal. Gradually add water until the dough just sticks together into a ball.
• Form the dough into a round disc and wrap in plastic. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a deep-dish pie plate or 9x13 glass pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Select Sauté to preheat the pressure cooking pot. Melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the onion and celery and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the chicken broth, diced chicken, potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and 3 minutes cook time.
• While the food is coming to pressure, transfer the pie crust to a lightly floured work surface and roll it into a circle that's at least 1-inch larger than the prepared baking dish. Use a knife or cookie cutters to cut shapes in the crust if you like.
• When the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker and use a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Stir in the peas and carrots.
• Prepare the roux.** In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining ⅓ cup butter. Whisk in the flour. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly for 2 more minutes, until the sauce is thick and creamy. Remove from heat and stir into the cooking pot to combine well. Add more milk, if needed, to achieve your desired consistency.
• Pour the pot pie filling into the prepared pie plate. Top with the pie crust (if you have not cut shapes in the crust, be sure to poke some holes in the top to vent the crust while it bakes). Bake for 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the filling is hot. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
