Chicken and Mushrooms Recipe | Instant Pot Mushroom Chicken

If you want to make an Instant Pot Chicken and Mushrooms recipe, but don't want to use cream of mushroom soup, have I got just the thing for you! This super easy and delicious, pour and cook, and makes an elegant but family-friendly dinner!

What Makes This Chicken and Mushrooms Recipe So Great

• Keto. With only 7 net carbs per serving, this is a great low carb main course.
• Healthy. Loaded with healthy vegetables.
• Fast. Not including the time for the pot to come to pressure, this recipe is done in under 30 minutes.
• Easy. A simple pour and cook recipe.
• Little Cleanup. Since this is a one-pot Instant Pot recipe, there isn't a bunch of dishes to clean up after you eat.

I never cook with canned soups at all. I have no idea what's in them, they invariably have flour (which I try to avoid), but really, the main reason I don't cook with them is that it's so easy to make your own thick and creamy soup.

A few aromatics, lashings of cream, and presto, you've got a wonderfully low carb Instant Pot Chicken recipe!

How To Make This Instant Pot Chicken and Mushrooms Recipe

• Turn the Instant Pot on Sauté. When it is hot, add the butter and allow it to melt. Add garlic cloves and stir. Allow them to soften, about 1 minute, taking care to not burn the garlic.
• Add onions and mushrooms, and stir to coat with the butter.
• Add thyme, chicken, salt, pepper, and water.
• Place the baby spinach leaves on top.
• Set the Instant Pot at High pressure for 8 minutes. When cook time is complete, allow the pot to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure.
• Open the lid and turn the Instant Pot to Sauté once again. Pour in the cream in a steady stream, while stirring. The sauce will start to thicken, about 5-8 minutes. Add in lemon juice while still stirring, and then you are ready to serve your masterpiece.

Looking To Mix It Up A Little? Try Out These Variations!

1. Swap out swiss chard or kale for the spinach in this Chicken and Mushroom recipe
2. Change out the mushrooms you use, or better still, use a mix of mushrooms for an even deeper flavor.
3. Make it with chicken breast instead. Be sure to cut the chicken breast in half at the thickest part to ensure even cooking in the pressure cooker.
