Easy Instant Pot Chicken and Dumpling Soup

Who is ready for an Easy Instant Pot Chicken and Dumpling Soup?

If you have been around here for any given amount of time, you know my family and I love instant pot recipes. Slow cooker or crock pot recipes aren’t bad either….. An easy recipe makes for an easier life and both deliver. No matter who is cooking, both make for an easy weeknight dinner. The cooking process is always easy and the prepping is even easier.

Being from the South, we love comfort food and a good dumplings recipe. Dumplings are what dreams are made of. Chicken and dumplings always made everything in the world better when I was a kid, so easy homemade dumplings are even better. Memories of Grandma’s house are fresh in my mind when I make this dumpling recipe.
