Recipe Ingredients
Chicken Breast - Choose a skinless and boneless chicken. Breasts and Thighs are equally effective; however, thighs are more affluent in proteins than breasts. Here in this recipe, I have used chicken breast due to its caloric value.
Onion - Onion and other vegetables are cooked in the instant pot alongside the chicken. The temperature at which chicken is cooked is approximately the same for the onions and other veggies. Use about ½ of the onion in this recipe and make it even more toothsome.
Cauliflower - Pick out a fresh, medium-sized cauliflower for its nutty flavor and crumbly texture. Avoid cauliflower having tiny brown spots on the florets because these are the signs of the aging process.
Brocolli - Plump for fresh broccoli with dark green or purple, not yellow florets. It is better to go with broccoli florets. However, the leaves and stems are also recommendable due to their fibrous value.
Tomato- flourishes incredible taste to the Instant pot chicken and vegetables. I use canned tomato, which you probably already have in your pantry. In case if you are out of tomatoes, you can replace them by using tamarind paste.
Carrot - Opt for some red and fresh carrots and make them shred so that the chicken's cooking time coincides with these carrots. These fresh carrots are very nutrient-dense and sum up more nutritional value to the recipe.
Cream- This is the critical ingredient that creates the creamy impression of this recipe! You can also use cream cheese tubs as an alternative to get the best taste and texture.
Mozzarella cheese- a dense source of high-quality protein that gives buttery flavor and creamy touch to this recipe. Parmesan can be used as a constitute for Mozzarella cheese.
How to make
First, gather all your ingredients.
Take about ½ onion and shred it into small pieces with the help of a knife.
Remove all of the cauliflower florets by cutting them away from the core. Now cut the florets into all pieces asked for in the recipe.
Next, Take the Broccoli and trim it down to bite-sized pieces.
Now take a carrot peel it and cut it into small pieces with a knife.
Using a large serrated knife, slice off the top of the tomato. Then cut the tomato into thin slices.
Hold the chicken breast with your non-knife hand, curling your fingertips under your knuckles and chop it into small pieces.
Now take your instant pot and set it on sautee mode for 10 minutes. Pour down one tbs olive oil and keep putting all the rest of the ingredients in a regular manner one by one; shredded onions, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. Finally, stir it well.
Add Before adding more spices, try just adding a ½ teaspoon or a healthy three-fingered pinch of salt.
Next, add chopped chicken into the instant pot and make it mix with other ingredients.
Close the lid and pressure cook the recipe at a high temperature for about 2 minutes. Now use quick release and open the lip.
Pour cream of mushroom over the chicken.
Last, by not least, pour down 1 cup of Mozzarella cheese in the instant pot and stir it well.
Finally, your recipe is ready. Serve warm!!

Notes
- This recipe is fantastic in its current form, there is no need to alter ingredients.
- If you wish to substitute cauliflower with button mushrooms or broccoli. If you're using mushrooms, make sure not to wash out them.
- In case if you are serving this over rice, then start your rice first.
Good and creamy. I happened to have all the ingredients. I put the mixture over noodles. My son in law and grand daughters actually ate a good amount even though they are picky eaters. Great way to sneak in the veggies.
I am confused by this recipe. Do you use plain cream, or cream of mushroom soup? You don't have any cream at all in the "ingredient" part of the recipe, but above in your description you talk about adding so kind of cream. Could I please get a clarification?
Sorry about that! I used condensed cream of mushroom soup for extra flavor, but you could use regular cream or cream cheese. I will update the recipe, thanks for your comment!
