Instructions 

  • Turn the Instant Pot saute setting on and melt the butter.
  • Add the diced onions and sliced celery to the Instant Pot. Saute for about 3 minutes or until the onion starts to turn translucent.
  • Add the sliced carrots, salt and ground pepper to the Instant Pot. Saute for 1 or 2 minutes longer.
  • Add the boneless skinless chicken, sliced portabella mushrooms, wild rice, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, bay leaf and chicken broth to the pot.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot securing it and setting the valve to the sealing position.
  • Press the manual button and set the timer for 15 minutes.
  • Once the pressure cooker is done cooking allow the steam to naturally release for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the lid of the Instant Pot allowing the steam to escape from the back side away from your body.
  • Remove the cooked chicken from the Instant Pot and place it in a bowl. Use two forks to shred the meat. Add the shredded chicken back to the Instant Pot.
  • In a small bowl mix the water with the cornstarch until lump free. Add the slurry of cornstarch and water (a gluten-free thickener) to the Instant Pot and mix until combined.
  • Turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting and bring to a boil, stirring. Boil until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Makes about 8 servings.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • You can use skinless boneless chicken thighs in place of the boneless chicken breasts.
  • I used baby Portabellas mushrooms but you could, of course, use any sliced mushrooms.
  • I like to add cornstarch as a thickener for most of my soup recipes. It adds a little thickness to the soup broth. If you enjoy a clear soup broth you can skip that step.
