Instant Pot French Onion Chicken

Written Recipe Here: pressureluckcoo...
Like so many, I love French onion soup. It's easily in my top three favorite soups ever.
And also like so many, I also love chicken. Especially since there are countless ways to dress and serve it up.
And I've already shown you how both these things are cooked to perfection in the Instant Pot. So I officiated a marriage between the two and let me tell you, I never cried tears of joy this much (maybe it was the onions?). It was also the CHEESIEST wedding I've ever been to (maybe it was the Swiss?). Regardless, a match made in FOODIE HEAVEN!
So I think the time has come to combine the two into something beyond your wildest french onion soup loving dreams. What if we took some delicious chicken cutlets, layered on top of some buttery-garlicky Texas Toast and COVERED them in a thick, rich french onion soup sauce topped off with a layer gooey, melted Swiss cheese?
Well, no more "What ifs." This is happening RIGHT. NOW.

This is by far the best meal I have made in my instant pot so far. It is the most requested...I mean my friends literally ask for me to make this and come running over to have this. Incredible and I am nowhere near sick of having this meal weekly 🤘🏼 SOOOOO YUMMMMY

[@daliben6972]

So lazy ways of cooking

[@chucknungester]

Try the best pot roast ever recipe. OMG the meat melts on your tongue and the rest is just unbelievable. wasn't really a pot roast guy. But now it's a every other week must on the menu.

[@PressureLuck]

4 years later and I’m so honored!

[@monie1527]

Just made this tonight with only 1 difference. We ladled French onion gravy on the bottom of the casserole dish. Piled on our chicken, more French onion gravy, cheese & put the homemade garlic toast on top. I did bake at 400 for 5 minutes and that melted the cheese, perfectly. The bread was crusty & to die for. Thank you!!!!

[@lorettacali10370]

Completely forgot that I made this a couple weeks ago. My daughter requested this last night. I had no idea what she was talking about. NOW I REMEMBER lol. Thanks 😊

[@markworthington5423]

Holy fricken chicken!! Friends over for dinner at the new place and I threw this at them. Last weekend I made the chicken and broccoli. Stroganoff tonight. These aren't really healthy conscious kinda meals, but perfect for Saturday night. They think I'm a God. Thanks to you!! Keep 'em coming

[@lemons2lemonade884]

Mark Worthington Feeding people FREE DINNER...You are God.. to them😂😁☺️👍🏼

[@stephanieorgeron4903]

Did this last night.....fabulous! My husband said, “you could do this for company and they would love it”! Thank you!

[@Barbw521]

Jeff, you ROCK the instant pot world! Everything I have tried of yours has been a keeper. I am definitely making this one. My hubby and I both love French Onion Soup.

[@mandamafirealtorpropertyma9073]

I made this dish with mushrooms and Angel hair pasta instead of the bread and it was so good! Thank you for the recipe:D

[@chucknungester]

Was thinking about using pasta or rice for the bed when I seen the video. Like Chicken Parmesan but in this case, French Onion instead of marinara

[@wandakitterman252]

Hands down...you are the best cook on the tube...just ordered one of you books..

[@reelin4realz440]

Came upon this by chance, and it IS like winning a lottery. I've been cooking for many years, and this is the first time I've seen a recipe like this. Looks delicious, is economical, and is "different". Serve with a salad, and you have a complete meal for a crowd. TY!

[@susanhagan4497]

I made this tonight. It was absolutely delicious. I was worried it might be too salty, but I trusted the recipe and went for it. So glad I did. It was the perfect combination of salt with the sweetness of the onions. Great recipe!!

[@kathig55]

Jeff you are one of my favorite IP chefs. Your recipes are so quick and easy, and most of all DELICIOUS!!!!!. You are a joy to watch.

[@markworthington5423]

This recipe is a collision of yumminess and simplicity. Wow!! My friends and fam haven't been told the next recipe...Chicken Royale. Thanks Jeffrey

[@ronoutdorman2525]

I've watched a bunch of instant pot recipes and you have by far the best recipes and instructional s on you tube. I made the pastrami and it turned out fantastic. Pot roast tonight. Thank you for providing the recipes. They turn out fantastic.

[@eaglescout9901]

Thanks Jeff. This is a home run, French onion soup too. I am making this again for our Easter dinner. Flavors are a buzzer beater. My wife was surprised I was using canned soup. I told her that's the hat trick. I know this will be a family touchdown.

[@cosmicmustache4351]

New house husband here. Just made this for the family. Turned out AMAZING!! Very filling, so you'll have leftovers. Might scale the recipe down from three to six servings since I think this dish I'd dubious for reheating. Thanks for this (and your other) wonderful recipes!

[@heatherjohnson7982]

You definitely have the most unique instant pot recipes. Thank you

[@papajoecooking4425]

Made this tonight! It was a big hit of the party! The whole family enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

[@judymoodyslifevlogs4341]

Hi Jeffery! I just helped my husband make this dish tonight, and let me tell ya! It was Fabulous! We made it exactly like you did. Next week, I am planning on making the Chicken Marsala. Thank you for these recipes. I love using my pressure cooker. Can't wait to see what other recipes you are going to bring to the table. Love ya Jeffery!

[@mariamusicmaria327]

I lost my mind right around 8:35 and was trying to lick my monitor. That looks YUMMY!

[@timothykaczmarek5871]

This is really a delicious recipe and meal. Used provolone cheese and it worked. Used beefy onion soup mix as couldn't find the one he used. Still came out great. Added a can of drained mushrooms in with the onion and chicken along with maybe a tablespoon of minced garlic. This was the best and most delicious instant pot meals. Definitely use thin cut chicken breasts. You can also use boneless chicken thighs as well. Very versatile and delicious recipe. Jeffrey you are great!!

[@momfromnj911]

Oh my God...made this tonight. What a hit! My whole family loved it. Only thing i changed was i used provolone instead of swiss cheese. Thanks Jeff!!!! Can't wait to make more of your recipes. I did your steel cut oats too..delicious! You are my fav IP recipe person.

[@lisajones4986]

Was it salty?

[@jaysantos536]

@@lisajones4986 OF course. French onion soup has a TON of salt, the mix is about 100% salt (and completely unnecessary) and the cheese has a lot of salt. I would guess at least 1500-2000 mg per serving.

[@sfish2780]

Making this tonight! Wanted to watch it again so I know I get it right. I can’t wait lol. So I made this and had to come back. It came out fantastic, the sweet and savory flavor was great and I loved it over Texas toast. I made some buttery noodles to go on the side and it was an awesome addition plus leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Thanks Jeffery for another delicious meal.

[@kimzeppelin5112]

Love this guy's personality! Lol

[@msaquariusmil]

I simply adore you. You've saved me a MANY last minute meal plans!

[@beatricegramirez9259]

OMGosh!!!! This one is awesome!!!!...im going to try this recipe for sure!! BRAVO!!👍🏻👍🏻

[@evelynhayward2890]

I made this tonight for my sister and her hubby. My sister doesn't like chicken but she ate 2 servings and so did her hubby. I could only eat one. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you for the recipe.

[@sarahbaker6990]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE RECIPES FROM YOU JEFFREY!!!!

[@Sharkie2004]

Jeffery you've got the cleanest toaster oven that I've ever seen!!

[@201TheProfessional]

[@debc4567]

Try it with Gruyere cheese! Yummyyyyyy!

[@goldwinggal]

This was on of the first things I made when I got my Instant Pot last August.

[@kathylewis7543]

Thank you Jefff can't want to try this one!!!I love french onion soup to i talked about it at work none stop I just had a taste for it now i found your recipe and its taking it over the top!!!

[@randyautrand5950]

Wow! That looks like the Best Ever!!!! Thank you for posting this up. Going to try that

[@314Thethirdeye08]

Ok yes this knocks it out of the park… I changed a few things and my family was so thrilled!!!! I will list my changes…. I didn’t fry my chicken… I actually trimmed it and made it in large chunks, I put a full onion in the Instant Pot and one envelope of onion soup with water with one bay leaf… I dredged the chicken through paprika, black pepper and very little salt. Cooked the chicken on the poultry setting. When the chicken cooked I took it out when it was done.. added 4 sliced Vidalia onions,also added 4 tablespoons of real butter, added 1.5Tablespoons of paprika and 1.5 teaspoons of black pepper and cooked on sauté…. Once it was nice and bubbly. Then Added the 2 largest cans Onion Soup by Progresso. Then I cooked in Instant pot on soup setting for 5 mins, addding 2 caps of Kitchen Bouquet. Mean while the chicken was cooling a bit and omg did it smell so good being cooked with the French onion soup mix and the onion. Toasted the Texas toast, we broke the bread up in bite sized pieces, topped it with the warm chicken put the Swiss cheese on top and then put the ladles of soup on top of everything. My family was THRILLED…. I made the modifications so it was like the Onion Soup from Famous Barr department stores back in the day…. This was a hit… I’m so happy we have left overs because I know what my lunch is going to be tomorrow!!! You could even make the chicken and the onion soup the day before and come home and just cook your Texas Toast heat the chicken and soup up and you would have an awesome dinner fast! Realize I was unsure how my family would react it’s 100 degrees outside and I’m making onion soup chicken for dinner, well they were thrilled!!! Love this just had to tweek it a tiny bit to make it like the favorite soup I made.. plus cooking the chicken in chunks with the fresh onion and a pkg of soup mix and 1 cup of water was the absolute right way to go the chicken was infused with the onion flavor!!!!

[@PressureLuck]

I’m so happy you loved it!!

[@Twillhead]

Oh. My. God. This looks INCREDIBLE! Dinner on Saturday!

[@ljatwood1972]

Layering it on top of Texas Toast is a great idea! YUM.

While I’m watching this (and I’m mostly plant based eater, haven’t had chicken in forever) my wife is preparing something with onion in the kitchen. Just as you opened the lid of the cooker, I smelled onions!! Shocked I thought either I’m imagining or iPhone and KZbin found a way to record and distribute odours!!!

On the strength of this recipe alone, I purchased an Instant Pot Ultra 8-quart machine. Received it a couple of days ago. This chicken will be the first thing I cook in the Instant Pot after I unbox, wash the parts, and run the machine through the "water test". Can hardly wait. I can already taste it.

[@stevensweet5118]

Wow, genius!
