Our Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken recipe is a favorite around here. We love the moist chicken and the yummy sauce. As I was thinking about recipes that would be great to make into an Instant Pot recipe, this one definitely came to mind. It makes this yummy recipe into an easy weeknight dinner that can be whipped up after work, and everyone will love! You can serve it over rice or noodles, whichever you prefer!

Sprinkle your chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place your chicken in your 6-quart Instant Pot. Pour your chicken broth around your chicken. Mix together your soups and pour on top of your chicken. Seal and cook on high for 10 minutes. Quick release and serve over rice or noodles with plenty of sauce.
Instant Pot Cheesy Chicken Notes:
- We have had this chicken over rice and noodles both. Either way, it is delicious!
- You can serve this either as a whole chicken breast or cut it up, whichever way suits your fancy. Just be sure to ladle plenty of sauce over the top. It makes it super yummy!
- Cooking time is in addition to the time it takes for the unit to reach pressure. Times may vary to reach pressure.

- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All electric pressure cookers cook differently under different conditions, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

With the Insta pot does the chicken need to be thawed out or can it be frozen?
Hi Christine!
It can be frozen, but the time will need to be adjusted from this recipe. I used thawed chicken in the above recipe.
Enjoy!

I made it with frozen chicken breasts tonight. I set the cook time to 20 minutes for the chicken. I did a quick release and shredded the chicken, then put it back in the instantpot. I threw some frozen broccoli in the instantpot and cooked it for 3 minutes. Added some cooked rice and let it all get to know each other. Yum!
That sounds great Ali! Thanks for letting us and our reader’s know how it worked with frozen chicken and with adding broccoli. Great idea!
This looks yummy! Plus I can use more pressure cooker recipes; my collection is small so far. However, 1 question: how much chicken broth? It isn’t listed in the ingredients. Thanks!
Sorry about that Cheryl! It is a cup and a half of broth. I have updated the recipe card.
Enjoy!

Did I just miss it or you did not specify how much chicken broth to add?
Sorry Sharon!
It is a cup and a half of broth. I have updated the recipe card.
Enjoy!
