Olive oil and butter Onion Garlic Mushrooms Sun-dried tomatoes Italian seasoning White wine Skinless, boneless chicken breast Chicken broth Salt and black pepper Heavy cream Cream cheese Cornstarch Parsley
CAN I USE FROZEN CHICKEN?
Yes, you can! Keep in mind that frozen chicken breasts will release significantly more liquid during the cooking process, so you’ll want to remove some before adding in the cream mixture; otherwise, it will be diluted significantly.
CAN I USE CHICKEN THIGHS?
Yes! For boneless and skinless chicken thighs, I usually pressure cook on High for 5-6 minutes in the Instant Pot. For bone-in chicken thighs, I pressure cook on High for 6-8 minutes.

CAN I MAKE THIS RECIPE ON THE STOVETOP?
Yes! If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can make this Creamy Chicken on a stovetop. Just pan-fry the chicken on a skillet and follow the same method. Simmer on low heat until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is reduced.
CAN I MAKE THIS RECIPE IN THE SLOW COOKER?
For the slow cooker, place the first twelve ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 3- 4 hours, until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. In the last 30 minutes, add the cream mixture. Cover and cook for additional 30 minutes, until the sauce is thickened. IMPORTANT: If you decide to make this recipe in the slow cooker, make sure the chicken is thawed. I don’t recommend cooking frozen meats in the slow cooker because slow cookers don’t reliably get frozen meat up to a safe temperature quickly enough, which opens the door for bacteria to flourish.
HOW DO I SERVE THIS Chicken dish?
My family’s favorite is mashed potatoes, but pasta and rice are great options too.
What Else Can I Add to My creamy chicken?
You can get as creative as you like with other vegetable additions in this dish. Here are some suggestions:
Spinach Asparagus Carrots Peas Other herbs and spices
