Instant Pot Chicken and Stuffing casserole:
This meal is a great way to stretch your meat and no one will ever realize it. The stuffing is so tasty and packed with flavor.
One of the many reason why I love this meal, is when I only have a few frozen chicken breast, I know I can make this meal and everyone will still get full. With the other ingredients, you can definitely make this go further for your family!
You will need a pressure cooker for this Recipe:
The pressure cooker has really changed dinner time around here. Those days when I forget to take something out of the freezer is not a problem with my instant pot. I use an 8 quart Instant pot but you can use a 6 quart.
I have a large family so the 8 quart one works best for me but my sister has a family of 4 and the 6 quart works great for her family size.
Having an Instant Pot has been a game changer for my family! Dinner is ready fast and my family still has time to eat a good meal before we head out to basketball games!
Ingredients:
- Chicken breasts, boneless skinless
- Water
- Garlic salt
- Cream of chicken soup (We make Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup)
- Sour cream
- Stove Top chicken Stuffing mix
- Frozen green beans
How to make Instant Pot Chicken and Stuffing:
- Pour the water into the bottom of the instant pot.
- Place the chicken breasts into the Instant Pot. I like to filet mine, but that is optional. Season the chicken with garlic salt.
3. In a medium bowl mix together the cream of chicken soup and the sour cream.
4. Spread the mixture on top of the chicken in the Instant Pot. Make sure to not mix this mixture into the water and just place it on top of the chicken.
5. Add the stuffing on top of the chicken.
6. Then add the frozen green beans on top.
7. Season with salt and pepper.
8. Place the lid on top and set the valve to sealing. Set the pressure for 25 minutes.
9. Do a quick release on the valve to remove the pressure.
10. Chicken should fall apart when it is done. Open the lid and serve.
Let sit for 15 minutes if desired. If it is too thick, feel free to add some chicken broth to thin the mixture out some.
Variations to try!
- Try using Cream of Mushroom Soup instead of Cream of Chicken.
- Add celery and onions to the stuffing. Or cream of celery works great too!
- Substitute cornbread stuffing for a different taste.
- Add water chestnuts to the stuffing.
- Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.
We have even tried Instant Pot Whole Chicken with stuffing!

I know I can count on it to be quick and easy. Plus, the entire family loves it!

Came out watery??
The chicken brings different amount of water to the dish. I would switch the instant pot to the sauté setting and cook off any additional liquid before serving. Thank you!
I would sauté the chicken. I like it browned.
That would be delicious!
I’m curious about the wire rack on the bottom. Maybe my rack just sits up further but in your pictures it looks like the chicken sits in the water more. Could possibly also be the size of the pressure cooker? I think mine is an 8qt. Time will tell, so far I haven’t gotten the burn notice that others talked about. I make a recipe similar to this in the oven so I’m excited to see how it turns out.
Mine is the 8 quart instant pot. The rack helps to not get the burn notice on the instant pot. Thank you!
So I’ve been making this recipe in the crockpot for years. Every time I’ve tried to adapt it to the IP, I get the burn error before we ever get anywhere near done. For those struggling, the best way I’ve found to do it is cook your chicken in liquid FIRST, then add the stuffing, soup/sour cream combo and green beans. I then go back and cook on manual for an additional 4 min and it turns out great! Depending on a variety of factors, including how wet you like your stuffing and how much liquid your chicken puts off, you might add an additional 1/4-1/2 c liquid. I hope that helps!
When the frozen green beans are cooked in this for 25 minutes do they come out mushy ?
They are soft but not soggy. I find that frozen green beans hold up better in the instant pot and crock pot than canned green beans do. Thank you!
I added about 13/4 cup of chicken broth instead of water and it turned out perfectly.
Great to hear – Thanks for sharing!
Can this be made with fresh green beans???
Yes, fresh green beans would work great in this recipe.
I made this tonight in my foodi and got caught up with life. I let it natural release and forgot about it for half an hour. It was still warming. It still came out amazing. This is definitely going in our menu rotation
I’m so glad it still was delicious! Thank you so much!
Hi What’s the 3 quart version just half the recipe? I Can’t half a can of soup. What is your suggestion? Thanks, Ericka
Yes, I would half the recipe is using a 3 quart instant pot. I would half of the can of soup and then freeze the other half for use in a different meal. Thanks.
Marjorie – I place the cream of chicken soup and sour cream mixture on top of the chicken first and then the stuffing mixture adjust to the soup mixture so it didn’t fall into the water. It worked great in this recipe.
I used a tablespoon of Better than Boullion in my water. Cooked as directed, but, received the burn message after 5 mins. So I put the chicken in my springform pan and dumped everything else on top; cleaned the pot, placed a rack and added a cup of water to the pot, set the springform pan on top and finished cooking. I would recommend a pot in pot method to avoid the burn notice; otherwise, this recipe was delicious.
