Creamy Instantpot Italian Chicken

My neighbor brought this over for dinner one night while we swam.  Both of the kids loved it so I started looking for a rendition of it to add to our menu!  This is really yummy and everyone in our house loves it and asks for seconds!  I serve it over rice with a veggie on the side and the littles love to scoop it up with corn chips!

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 chicken breasts
  • greek seasoning
  • packet of zesty italian dressing mix
  • 2 cans of LF cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 1 bag chopped spinach
  • block of cream cheese (2% is fine)
  • 2 bags of instant rice (1/2 cup uncooked) - cook in microwave
Instructions:

  • In your Instantpot, cover bottom with chicken breasts.
  • Season chicken with greek seasoning and sprinkle zesty italian mix over chicken.
  • Over the chicken, pour the cream of chicken, chicken broth, lemon juice.  I often season this with some additional greek seasoning. 
  • Cook on manual high pressure for 9 minutes, then let natural release for 10 minutes.  If chicken is frozen, cook for 12 minutes and let natural release for 10 minutes.
  • After the 10 minutes of natural release, throw a towel over the valve and let the rest of the pressure out.
  • With tongs remove the chicken pieces and shred.  
  • Press the saute function.
  • Cut your cream cheese up and evenly drop cubes into the soup.  
  • Stir frequently until desired consistency is met and it is mixed in well.  Add back chicken as you shred it.
  • Add the cooked instant rice and chopped spinach and stir well until spinach is wilted.
  • Top with extra lemon juice and Parmesan if desired!  
  • I usually mix the rice in but it can also be served over rice or pasta!
