There are a few things that make this stew extra delicious, the butter…

oh, how yummy a little butter can make a soup/stew and

potatoes, yes the potatoes have this delicious creaminess that gives lots of great texture to this stew. The Yukon gold potatoes are my favorite.

I just love this stew and the large chunks of yumminess in it!

You can choose to make the broth creamy by adding milk or heavy cream or keep it clear and thicken it with a little cornstarch and water… but no matter how you make it, 

it’s only minutes away from making it into this Easy No Fuss Chicken Pot Pie! Just make pie crust or buy a premade pie crust and the rim of a bowl or a large round cookie cutter to cut round shapes and place them on a baking sheet and bake until golden. 
Then simply ladle the stew into a bowl and add the baked pie crust on top.

Can this recipe be made in an Instant Pot?

Cut the chicken into 3″ cubes. Don’t add the milk/cream and cornstarch until the end. Place the ingredients into the instant pot and set the timer to cook for 12 minutes. Add the cornstarch mixture and milk/cream, while on a simmer. Stir until thickened.
