01
Step 1
Start by seasoning the chicken with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts and 2 cups of stock into your electric pressure cooker, then close and lock the lid. Set it to the Stew function and cook for 25 minutes. It will take a few minutes for the pressure to build up before the timer starts.

Step 2
Once the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. When it’s safe, open the lid and transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Switch the cooker to the Sauté setting and bring the broth to a boil. Shred the chicken with two forks while you wait.

Step 3
Next, add the frozen dumpling wrappers to the simmering broth, stirring frequently so they don’t stick together. Toss in the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, and the rest of the stock. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 4
Close the lid again and set the pressure cooker back to the Stew function for another 10 minutes. Give it time to build pressure once more. When it’s done, let the pressure come down naturally, which can take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes.

Step 5
Finally, open the lid and stir in the peas and carrots. Let everything sit for a couple of minutes until the veggies are warmed through, then it’s ready to serve.

This dish is comforting and full of rich, savory flavors. The chicken becomes tender and juicy, while the dumplings soak up the delicious broth. It’s an easy one-pot meal perfect for busy days or cozy nights.
How to serve
Serve with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the meal. A slice of crusty bread is great for soaking up the broth. This dish also pairs well with a glass of white wine or a light beer.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the chicken moist and the dumplings tender. Freezing is not recommended as dumplings may change texture.
