Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast (about 450 grams), cut into bite sized pieces
- 3 cups broccoli florets (about 270 grams)
- 1 cup chicken broth (about 240 ml)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (about 113 grams), softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream (about 120 grams)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 100 grams)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and add the chicken broth. Place the chicken pieces in a single layer and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Secure the lid, set the valve to sealing, and pressure cook on high for 8 minutes.
- Perform a quick release of pressure, then carefully remove the lid.
- Stir in the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and fully combined.
- Add the broccoli florets and turn on sauté mode. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still bright.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir it into the pot and simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and allow it to melt into the sauce. Serve warm.
Notes
- Cut chicken into evenly sized pieces for consistent cooking.
- If the sauce is too thick after reheating, add a splash of broth to loosen it.
- Frozen broccoli can be used, add it after pressure cooking and sauté just until heated through.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
