This Instant Pot creamy Italian chicken is bursting with delicious flavors that the whole family will love!

This Instant Pot creamy Italian chicken meal is so simple to make and tastes great. My husband said it’s his favorite meal I’ve ever made him.

In our nearly 12 years of marriage, my husband says that this Instant Pot creamy Italian chicken is his favorite meal I make him.

He loves that it is full of great flavor, plus it’s creamy and comforting. We all this this dish is especially great during the winter months because it is warm and filling.

I personally LOVE my 9-in-1 6 quart Instant Pot because it makes big family meals so much easier. Especially for this busy mom who almost always forgets to prepare ahead of time…oops. Anyone else struggle with that?

Luckily with recipes like our 10 minutes Instant Pot gluten-free Mac n’ cheese, I can have meals in minutes. I simply put in some canned chicken, leftover ground beef or even tuna for extra protein.

Although, I do prefer it on it’s own. It’s just so creamy! Plus, the kids think I am such a cool mom when I make it.

I used to make this recipe in my slow cooker and let it do it’s thing for 6-8 hours or so. I love that with this Instant Pot creamy Italian chicken I can now do that same delicious recipe in under 30 minutes.

This recipe actually came from my amazing step mama Sheila. It was my favorite recipe she made for me whenever I came to visit. She was so sweet after my celiac diagnosis to adapt it gluten-free for me.

I have gone a step further here and made sure that instead of using the dry Italian salad dressing mix, which can be very hard to find, we used fresh herbs and spices to achieve the same delicious taste.

Mama Sheila used to serve this over white rice with a side of buttered corn and cold cottage cheese with lots of salt and pepper. We also used to serve up a crisp green salad with it as well.

Now when I make it, I have to do the same thing. It’s just not quite the same without all those fixings for me. I am an incredibly nostalgic person.

CAN I MAKE THIS A DUMP AND START INSTANT POT MEAL?

Yes, you absolutely can. In the video above, I put everything into the pot at once to cook.

I will say though, this method curdles the cream cheese so it doesn’t look smooth. It still tastes great though!

I have since recommended a slightly different method that doesn’t take any longer.

WHAT GLUTEN-FREE CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP DO YOU RECOMMEND?

I always recommend Pacific brand gluten-free cream of chicken condensed soup. It is made with good quality ingredients and works great in recipes.

SO HOW DO I GET A SMOOTHER SAUCE?

Simply put all the ingredients into a pot EXCEPT the cream cheese and cook. Once it has cooked and you have let it naturally release, stir in the cream cheese then re-seal the lid and let it sit for 3 minutes.

Then use a fork or small whisk to combine everything. I like to then serve it over rice or potatoes.

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER GREAT DUMP AND START INSTANT POT MEALS?

Aren’t they the best?! Our dump and start Instant Pot hamburger soup is so good and will be a new family favorite in your home if you make it!

It’s a classic 30 year old recipe from my mother-in-law that we adapted for the Instant Pot.
