What is Instant Pot Chicken Stew?
Warm and rustic, Chicken Stew is a delicious combination of chicken and vegetables cooked in a delicious creamy curry.
The base of the curry is made with chicken stock which is flavored with garlic, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper.
A simple one-pot stew that will surely satisfy your weekday cravings of a satisfying dinner.
To thicken the stew a bit, I have used all-purpose flour in this dish. Just mix the flour with a little water and add it in the end.
It works as a great thickening agent in this recipe.
If you are looking for a vegetarian version of the same, you can avoid chicken and can substitute chicken stock with vegetable stock to make this delicious stew.
It is best to make in the instant pot as the stew can take hours to be cooked on the gas, and it takes hardly 15 minutes to cook in an instant pot.
So, If you are a mom who has kids to take care of anyone who has very little time to cook their meals, you will instantly love this version.

Serving Suggestions
I often make Crusty Baguettes at home, whenever this Chicken Stew is on the menu.
This is my favorite way of serving this chicken stew which is filled with the goodness of chicken and vegetables.
But some days when I want a little heavy meal, Chicken Stew is served along with Steamed White Rice, Brown Rice, or any other highly flavored rice.
You can also serve it along with a light salad such as Green Salad, Caesar Salad or Brussels Sprout Salad, dinner rolls, or even creamed mashed potatoes and creamy polenta.
