DinnerInstant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Soup
This is a super simple dish to throw in the instant pot and be ready in 30 minutes! It was one of my biggest pregnancy cravings and the whole fam loves it. If you prefer to make in crockpot, cook on high for 3 hours, or low for 4.
Mikayla MewsIngredients
- 1-2 lbs Chicken
- 1 Onion
- 1 cup Carrots
- 1 cup Celery
- Use your heart Garlic
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 6oz box Uncle Ben’s wild rice (with seasoning)
Instructions
- 1Chop up your veggies and place in instant pot with butter.
- 2Layer chicken on top (1-2 lbs depending on how much meat you like in your soups) and pour box of uncle Ben’s wild rice. Add seasoning packet from box and chicken broth.
- 3Set instant pot for 10 minutes high pressure. After cooking is done quick release (turn valve to venting).
- 4Shred your chicken. You can remove it and shred with a fork, or be lazy like me and leave it in the pot and shred it with a hand mixer set on low.
- 5Slowly mix in heavy cream and salt. If more salt is needed only add 1/2 tsp at a time to not over salt. All done!

Open in Pepper →Why the Instant Pot Fixed Weeknight Chicken
Frozen chicken breasts to shredded taco filling in 20 minutes, whole soup to bowl in 30 — the Instant Pot solved the two things that used to derail weeknight dinner.
Cooks on Pepper skip the browning step for weeknight batches — the pressure cooker develops enough flavor on its own that dinner still tastes better than takeout.
The recipes here are the community's most-repeated Instant Pot chicken dinners — the ones worth pulling the appliance out of the cabinet on a Tuesday.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cook from frozen
Frozen chicken breasts pressure-cook in 12 minutes and shred like a dream — one of the appliance's best tricks.
- 2
Deglaze before sealing
A splash of broth after the sauté scrapes up fond and prevents the dreaded burn error.
- 3
Natural release for tender
Ten minutes of natural pressure release keeps chicken juicy — quick release toughens it.
- 4
Shred with the paddle
A hand mixer on low shreds a batch of chicken in ten seconds — zero forks required.
