Notes
This recipe is inspired by Diethood.
I used a 6-quart Instant Pot. You may use chicken breasts and pressure cook for 10 minutes. If you use frozen chicken, increase the time to 15 minutes. The whipping cream didn't curdle, it's OK to pressure cook.
If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this on a stove top by following the same recipe. Simmer the chicken on low heat until the chicken thighs are cooked through.
You may also cook this using a slow cooker. Just cook for 4 hours.
