With its creamy and flavorful sauce perfectly coating tender chicken and vegetables, Instant Pot Chicken a la King is the ultimate comfort food that's not only delicious, but also easy to make!
Dice the onion and carrot, slice the celery, and cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Mince the garlic. Press sauté, melt the butter, and cook the vegetables and garlic until the onion is translucent, then turn sauté off.
Add the chicken, paprika, seasoned salt, pepper, parsley, and bay leaf. Pour in the chicken broth and stir well to evenly combine the seasonings and distribute the herbs throughout the mixture.
Lock the lid and set to manual pressure cook for 5 minutes. When finished, carefully perform a quick release. Open the lid away from your face to safely avoid the hot steam. Stir in the peas, heavy cream, and cornstarch slurry.
