Instant Pot Swiss Chicken is a chicken and stuffing casserole with lots of cheesy goodness. Chicken breasts are cooked in broth in the Instant Pot until juicy and tender and then topped with Swiss cheese and a creamy stuffing mix.
This Instant Pot recipe is sure to be a family favorite. You’ll be fighting over the leftovers!
I love a Swiss Chicken Casserole like this Sandy’s Chicken. Typically it is baked in the oven, but I had a feeling it would taste even better in a pressure cooker. And it did.
Except the first time I tried it in the Instant Pot, it was a disaster. The cheese burnt on the bottom and I ended up having to scrape the whole thing out of the Instant Pot and finish it in the oven.
The trick is to cook the chicken breasts in chicken broth in the Instant Pot until they are about halfway done and then add the cheese and stuffing mix.
The pictures don’t really do it justice but give this Instant Pot Swiss Chicken recipe a try and you’ll see why it is one of my very favorite recipes.
You might also want to try this Creamy Baked Swiss Chicken. Instead of stuffing, it has the wonderful flavor of Thousand Island Dressing.
Recipe Tips
- You can substitute provolone cheese for swiss cheese.
- To spice it up, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.

I’m making tonight only second Instant Pot recipe, I’m a newbie. I plan to use four Costco (large) chicken breasts thawed and double stuffing mixture. How does this effect (if at all) the cooking times? Thanks excited to try new recipe!
Amazing! I doubled this and it came out perfect. We like casseroles so I cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces and cook it exactly the same. Thanks for the great recipe!
Do you have a nutrition list for this recipe? I have to watch my intake of certain things.
Do you cut up the chicken breast or do you leave them whole?
This is one of our favorite IP recipes!! It’s so fast & that’s a plus after working all day. I put a full cup of broth. If there’s any left, I use the rest of the broth and a little heavy cream to make a soup. I got the idea from Sweet Tomatoes — they had a Turkey & dressing soup that was SO GOOD!! Thanks for this recipe!
If using frozen chicken breasts, do I need to adjust the cooking time?
Yes, you will need to cook for longer. I am not sure how much longer becasue I never cook frozen chicken. I prefer to thaw it in the refrigerator first.
I use frozen chicken breasts. The only adjustment I use is to pepper AFTER the 8 minutes of cooking and before the swiss cheese.
Brand new to Instant Pot. When I did the 4 minutes, the Instant Pot was saying Burn, and it seems like the chicken is all stuck. What did I do wrong?
You need to make sure the liquid makes its way to the bottom before you start pressure cooking.
CAn u double it without messing with time?
Do you put the chicken on the rack in the pot? Or directly on the bottom?
In the pot. I don’t use the rack.
I don’t care for swiss. Could I use cheddar or mozarella?
I made mine with Muenster cheese it was delicious
I use provolone and it turns out great!
