This Instant Pot Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole Recipe<\/strong> is a creamy, cheesy one-pot dish topped with a crispy Ritz Cracker crumb crust you can finish in the oven or with an air fryer lid. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2764\ufe0f Why You’ll Love This Recipe: <\/strong>This creamy, cheesy casserole has it all: it\u2019s full of flavor from garlic and onion, has tender, juicy pieces of chicken, and you can prepare the white rice at the same time as the chicken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve been making one-pot chicken recipes in the pressure cooker for years. And casseroles are always a hit with my family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This one is inspired by our Instant Pot Creamy Chicken and Broccoli over Rice<\/a>, but with new flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is one of our favorite Instant Pot Chicken Recipes<\/a>. It\u2019s fast, easy, and requires just one pot, just like our Instant Pot Chicken Enchilada Pasta<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what you need to make creamy poppy seed chicken casserole in an Instant Pot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To start, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper all over. Heat the oil in the pressure cooking pot using the Saute function. When hot, add the onion and cook for a minute, then cook the garlic for 30 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Add the butter and chicken and cook for two minutes, then add the broth, salt and pepper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019d like to add rice, combine the rice, water, and salt in a 7-inch round cake pan. Place a trivet in the pot, then lower the cake pan onto the trivet with a sling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pressure cook on high for 4 minutes. Release the pressure for 10 minutes, then finish with a quick pressure release. Remove the lid, then use the sling to remove the pot with the rice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Select Saut\u00e9 and add the cornstarch mixture to the pot, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add the cubed cream cheese, a few pieces at a time, stirring until smooth. Add the parmesan cheese until melted. Add the sour cream, poppy seeds and the parsley and stir until smooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019d like to add a crispy, crunchy topping to the casserole, make a crumb topping by combing a tablespoon of butter with the crushed Ritz crackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can make the crispy topping in a baking dish. To do so, grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and preheat the broiler. Transfer the chicken casserole to the baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled Ritz crackers topping on top. Place under the broiler until golden and bubbly, keeping a close eye on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have an air fryer lid, you can finish the dish right in the pressure cooker. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the crushed ritz crackers and cheese. Set the temperature to 350\u00b0F and bake for 2 to 4 minutes, until browned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We use the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with an Air Fryer Lid<\/a> to finish this dish in the Instant Pot. To cook rice, you\u2019ll need a 7-inch round cake pan that fits inside the pressure cooker. We use this one from Fat Daddios<\/a>. And you can make your own aluminum sling<\/a> or use a reusable sling, this is the one we use<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can certainly serve this casserole as-is without a crumb topping! We like to add it for crunch.\u00a0However, when I’m crunched for time, I’ll just pass out the ritz crackers to the family and everyone just eats them together. <\/p> <\/div> Store fully cooled leftover casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat in the microwave or in the Instant Pot.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> Yes, you can freeze fully cooled casserole for up to six months. Defrost overnight in the fridge, then reheat to serve!<\/p> <\/div> Serve this creamy, cheesy casserole over white rice. Another grain, or pasta will also work.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Make these other quick and easy Instant Pot Chicken Recipes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
