When it comes to holiday dinners, I have to admit I am all about the side dishes.

While I enjoy the ham or turkey, I adore the green beans, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and stuffing.

Oh, the stuffing! And it doesn’t need to be anything fancy–in fact, I always just buy the packaged stuffing to make.

Here in the South, stuffing doesn’t have to be reserved for holiday dinners. Chicken and stuffing (or sometimes called chicken and dressing) is a comfort food staple, traditionally baked in the oven.

However, today I’m sharing how to make chicken and stuffing in the Instant Pot! I have a feeling it’s going to be one of your new favorite Instant Pot chicken dinner ideas!

Southern Style Pressure Cooker Chicken and Stuffing

As with a lot of Southern-style dishes, there are many traditional recipes for chicken and dressing, and they’re all a little different. People tend to prefer the version they grew up with.

Some recipes include frozen vegetables to round out the casserole, while others melt cheese on top when baking, and still others top with gravy.

I’m most familiar with the classic version that just includes dressed-up stuffing and some chicken breasts, so that’s what this recipe is for. However, I’ll give you some adaptations so you can tweak it to be what your family is used to!

How to Make Instant Pot Chicken and Stuffing

It’s really easy to make this simple recipe using boxed stuffing mix!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Butter
• Onion
• Celery
• Boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Packaged stuffing (I used Stovetop, but you can use Pepperidge Farm or whatever type you like)
• Cream of chicken soup
• Chicken broth

How to Make It:

(Full printable recipe is available below)

Saute veggies. First, you’ll use the Saute function to melt the butter in the insert pot of the Instant Pot. Add in the onions and celery and stir often as they begin to soften. Press Cancel to turn off the Saute function.

Add chicken. Next, you’ll whisk the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup together. Add that mixture and the cubed chicken to the pot, stirring to combine.

Pressure cook. Close the lid and seal the vent, then cook at high pressure for 3 minutes. Perform a quick release of pressure.

Add stuffing. Carefully remove the lid once the pressure has released.

Stir in the stuffing mix and let it sit for a few minutes while it absorbs the liquid. If needed, add a splash of water or broth to moisten completely.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes and Adaptations:

• You can use a can of cream of chicken soup or homemade cream of chicken soup (if using homemade, you’ll need about 1.5 cups). You could also use cream of mushroom or cream of celery if preferred.
• If desired, you can serve with a drizzle of chicken gravy on top.
• If you want to add in frozen vegetables, you can add them in with the chicken before cooking (if you want the vegetables to be pretty soft), or you can add them in with the stuffing and let the heat warm them up if you want them more crisp-tender.
• Feel free to include other mix-ins that are must-haves in your family’s stuffing–water chestnuts, dried cranberries, etc.
• If you want a melted cheese topping, transfer the finished mixture to a baking dish and top with shredded cheese, then pop it in a 500F oven for a few minutes to melt.
