How To Make Our Instant Pot Chicken French Dip Sandwiches Recipe:

Start by getting out your Instant Pot and pressing the SAUTE button and put the butter inside.

When the butter begins to melt, add the onion slices into the inner pot along with salt and pepper.

Cook that all together until the onions become soft and tender.

Then pour in ½ cup of chicken broth and deglaze the bottom of the Instant Pot, scraping off any of the bits of food that have cooked onto the bottom of the pan.

Once that is done, add in the chicken breasts into the Instant Pot and top it with minced garlic, paprika, and dried thyme.

Then in a mixing bowl, combine the flour and Worcestershire sauce.

When that is mixed together, pour the remaining 1 ½ cups of chicken broth to the flour mixture and whisk it all together.

Now, carefully pour the flour mixture into the Instant Pot on the sides of the chicken (but not directly on the chicken or the seasonings will wash off).

Press the PRESSURE COOK button and set the timer for 20 minutes, making sure the valve is turned to the SEALING setting.

When the timer is done, allow the Instant Pot to do a natural release of the pressure for 5 minutes.

Then turn the valve to the VENTING position to release any remaining pressure in the pot.

Carefully remove the chicken from the Instant pot and use two forks to shred the chicken.

After the chicken is shredded, add it back into the Instant Pot and mix it together with the juice.

Hoagie rolls with sliced cheese on a cutting board

When you are ready to serve dinner, place a scoop of the seasoned chicken mixture over a hoagie roll or bun and then top it with provolone cheese, and sprinkle it with fresh parsley if you’d like.

You can also place the sandwiches in the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese even more, but be careful not to over cook the bread because then it will become very crunchy.
