Here are the video instructions for the recipe. Please note that in light of reader comments, I’ve converted the recipe to a pot-in-pot dish, which isn’t reflected in the video. The remaining steps are the same though.

Next, place chicken breasts on top of the butter. Then, top each breast with Swiss cheese.

Now, combine the cream of chicken soup and milk in a small bowl.

Then pour it over the chicken and cheese.

Now sprinkle the stuffing over the top. Pour broth (or water) evenly over the stuffing.

Step 5 – Prepare Instant Pot for Pot-in-Pot

Place the trivet in the bottom of the inner liner of your Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water to the pot.

Make a foil sling or use a silicone sling. Use the sling to lower pan with chicken and stuffing onto the rack.

Step 6 – Pressure Cook

Secure the lid and select “Poultry” setting (or “Manual” if you don’t have the Poultry setting). Make sure the time is set to 15 minutes.

Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Dinner is ready!
