Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 kitchen knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs chicken breasts (use high quality)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh)
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese (shredded)
  • salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Dice the chicken: Place the raw chicken meat on a clean cutting board. Slice it into strips about ½ inch wide. Then cut them across to make small cubes about ½ inch in size.
  • Dice the onion: Dice the onion to fine pieces
  • Set Instant Pot to Sauté: Heat the oil in the Instant Pot on sauté mode. This will help to brown the onions and add flavor to the dish.
  • Cook Onions: Add the onions and cook until they start to brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Sauté the chicken: Add the chicken and sauté until it gets lightly browned from all sides. You need to cook it through.
  • Scrape the bottom of the pot: Deglaze the bottom of the pot with a small amount of chicken stock. Scrape the bottom enough, so that you loosen any stuck bits.
  • Add the almond flour: Add the almond flour to the pot. Cook for a minute, whisking constantly.
  • Add the liquids: Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Add the seasonings: Garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper. Stir everything well.
  • Add the sour cream and mayonnaise: Add both and stir everything.
  • Add the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets and make sure everything is evenly distributed in the pot.
  • Add the cheese: Sprinkle shredded Gruyere cheese over the top of the mixture.
  • Pressure Cook: Close the Instant Pot lid and sealing valve then set to manual – high pressure – for 5 minutes. Just sit back and let the Instant Pot do the work for you.
  • Quick release: Do a quick release of pressure by carefully turning the pressure release valve to its venting position.
  • Finish the casserole: Once all the pressure has been released, you can open the pot. Give it a stir and serve. Enjoy!
