Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 5 red potatoes cut in half (you can peel them if you want, we prefer skins on)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 2 pounds frozen chicken tenders
  • 15 ounces chicken broth
  • 2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup (10.75 ounces each)
  • 1 packet dry ranch dressing mix (1 ounce)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon parsley
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature

Instructions

  • Place halved potatoes in bottom of Instant pot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Dump carrots on top of potatoes. Add more salt and pepper as needed.
  • Arrange frozen chicken tenders on top of carrots.
  • Pour chicken broth in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, packet of ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, parsley, paprika, and oregano. Spoon on top of the chicken tenders.
  • Place lid on top of Instant Pot and move valve to SEALING. Press PRESSURE COOK button (or MANUAL button) and set timer for 10 minutes.
  • When the Instant Pot is finished cooking, let it do a NATURAL RELEASE for 5 minutes, then move the valve to VENTING to do a QUICK RELEASE of the remaining pressure.
  • Remove the chicken, potatoes and carrots from the Instant Pot to a large bowl or serving platter and cover them to keep them warm.
  • Whisk in cream cheese with warm liquid remaining in the Instant Pot and mix until smooth.
  • Drizzle warm cream cheese sauce over chicken, potatoes and carrots and serve (you can also ladle the sauce over individual portions).

Notes

  • Make sure you whisk the cream cheese until smooth so there are not clumps.
