Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings Soup

With tomorrow being October, soup season is in the air (though I never stopped making it)! This decadent soup is perfect for a cozy night in, and in the Instant Pot, it can’t be any easier!

Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

4 cups celery, chopped

4 cups carrots, chopped

1 yellow onion, diced

4 cups chicken broth

1 package Grands! Homestyle Biscuits dough (8 biscuits)

2 bay leaves

1 tsp ground sage

1 tsp dried parsley

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to saute mode. Melt the tbsp of butter and add in onions. After a minute, add in carrots and celery.
  2. After you have sautéed for about 4 minutes, add in thyme, garlic powder, parsley flakes, ground sage, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir it together with veggies.
  3. Add in chicken broth and chicken thighs.
  4. Take biscuit dough out of the package and cut in quarters. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and a little ground sage for flavoring.
  5. Place quartered biscuit dough on top of chicken thighs in the Instant Pot.
  6. Close and lock the Instant Pot. Set the valve to “sealing.”
  7. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. After pressure builds and cooking time has completed, allow to naturally release pressure for 15 minutes (timer should read LO:15). Then, do a quick release of the pressure.
  8. Break up biscuits that may have stuck together. Remove chicken thighs and shred. Return shredded chicken back to soup.
  9. Serves six!
Before cooking! Ready to place biscuits on top.
Raw dough placed on top! Ready to seal the Instant Pot for cooking.
Set timer for 5 minutes, high pressure.
After cooking is done, let pressure naturally release for 15 minutes. Instant Pot should look like this! Then, quick release the remaining pressure.
Break up biscuits, shred chicken, and serve!

Air Fryer Simple Adobo Chicken Thighs

Growing up, the only way we had chicken was either rotisserie or grilled chicken breasts. I recently discovered the juicy, flavorful goodness that are chicken thighs, and there’s no going back! I’ve tried to figure out the best and easiest way to cook these babies, and I think I discovered it! With just a little oil and adobo seasoning, they come out perfect in the air fryer!

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 tsp olive oil (I used spray)

2 tbsp Goya Adobo seasoning

Directions:

  1. Pat your chicken thighs dry with a paper towel.
  2. Spray evenly with olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle generously with Goya Adobo seasoning.
  4. Set your air fryer to 360 degrees F.
  5. Place your chicken thighs in the air fryer, making sure they do not touch (you may have to work in batches).
  6. Cook for 22 minutes, flipping thighs over halfway through, until chicken is cooked through (an internal temperature of 165 degrees F).
  7. Slice up and serve on its own, with a side, in a salad, or however you please!
