Gather your ingredients.
Here are all the ingredients that you will need:
- 1 pound chicken thighs chopped, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup carrots diced
- 1 cup celery diced
- 1 can buttermilk biscuit dough*
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon sage
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz heavy cream
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
*Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces and roll into balls.
Set your Instant Pot on to sauté.
Plug in your Instant Pot and turn the setting to saute. Allow to get hot.
Sauté onions, garlic, and chicken.
Add the olive oil, butter, onions, and garlic. Cook for about four minutes, just until softened. Then add the chicken in and slightly brown for three minutes.
Add the rest of your ingredients in.
Throw in carrots, celery, biscuit dough, chicken broth, bay leaf, and seasoning. Give all the ingredients a stir to incorporate evenly.
Pressure cook for seven minutes.
Secure the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Select manual and pressure cook on high with the timer set to seven minutes. Once the time is up, set the pressure valve to venting and let the Instant Pot depressurize.
Serve in a large bowl.
Once the steam is all out, remove the lid. Add the heavy cream and flour and stir to combine. The soup should thicken after this step. Using a ladle, serve in a bowl.
