Pressure cookers or Instant Pots save so much time when it comes to roasts and chicken. It is so easy to through a roast or chicken in with some broth or water and have it done in a half an hour.
Pressure cooker Pot Pie
This is a pretty simple recipe. You save on carbs if you put a crust on top of your pie and skip the bottom. It's a healthy and delicious comfort food I plan on making a lot this winter.
Equipment
- Pressure Cooker or Instant pot
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1-3 Lb Roast or Chicken Breast
- 4-6 Potatoes
- 4 Large Carrots
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic
- 1 TBSP Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 TBS Arrow Root powder or Cornstarch
- 1 Pie Crust
Instructions
- First, in your pressure cooker, add your meat, seasonings and Worcestershire sauce . Lock and cook on a roast setting if you have one or for about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, wash cut and if desired peel your carrots and potatoes into about 1/2" pieces and preheat your oven to 400°
- Next, when you release the pressure, check your meat to see if it is fully cooked. (If not add a few more minutes of cook time.) Cut the meat into small chunks with a knife and fork. Add your carrots and potatoes.
- Than, with a slotted spoon transfer your meat and potatoes in a pie dish. Add arrow root powder or cornstarch to the leftover broth in your pressure cooker, and whisk or stir to make a nice gravy. Pour it on top of your meat and potatoes until it just covers them. (we don't want it spilling over)
- Finally, add a pie crust to the top and bake for about 25-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Be creative and use the type of vegetables and meat you have at home.
