Instant Pot Chicken Breasts (fresh Or Frozen)

I prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe, but they can easily be swapped with boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer and there’s no need to change the cook time.

I prefer not to use bone-in chicken for this recipe, simply because it won’t cook in the same time as the vegetables, meaning your chicken will be undercooked or your vegetables will be mushy.

I know that some chicken and dumplings recipes call for canned biscuit dough, and I understand we all need a shortcut sometimes!

Rather than using melted butter in my dumplings, which is sometimes called for, I use canola oil which (a) saves me a step (no microwave!) and (b) provides my family with more of the healthy fats we need.

Canola oil is one of the healthiest oils there is! It is high in good fats (fatty acids) and low in bad fats (saturated and trans fats).
