- 1 onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas

Instructions:
- Start by placing the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add the chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural release for 10 minutes before performing a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stirring it back into the broth and vegetables.
- Add the frozen peas to the mixture, and stir until evenly distributed.
- Next, drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the top of the chicken mixture, spacing them comfortably apart. Close the lid again and set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for an additional 5 minutes.
- Once the cooking time has elapsed, perform a quick release to relieve pressure. Carefully open the lid, and your chicken and dumplings are ready to be served!
- For added flavor, feel free to garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
