INSTANT POT CHICKEN AND NOODLES

 

Ingredients


  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 (32 oz) carton lower sodium chicken broth
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 (10.75 oz) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • 1 (24 oz) bag frozen eggs noodles
  • 1/2 cup sour cream optional, plus more for serving, if desired

Instructions

  • Hit SAUTE on a 6 quart Instant Pot.
  • Once it reads HOT, add in butter and allow to melt, then stir in onion, celery, and carrots and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until tender.

  • Hit CANCEL on the IP, then stir in the chicken broth, making sure to scrape up any brown bits that may have formed on the bottom. This helps avoid a BURN notice.
  • Stir in the chicken thighs.
  • WITHOUT STIRRING, dollop in the condensed soup and sprinkle on the sage, thyme, rosemary, pepper, garlic powder, and salt. This helps avoid a BURN notice.
  • Cover and lock the lid, be sure the pressure valve is pointed toward SEALING, then cook on HIGH pressure for 10 minutes.

  • Once the chicken is done, flip the pressure valve to perform a quick release.
  • Remove the chicken and set aside. Shred or cube into chunks after allowing it to rest for 10 minutes.

  • Whisk the sauce that’s in the IP to remove any clumps, then stir in the frozen egg noodles.
  • Cover and lock the lid, be sure the pressure valve is pointed toward SEALING, then cook on HIGH pressure for 6 minutes.

  • Once the cook time is up, let the IP sit for 5 minutes, before covering the pressure valve with a kitchen towel (this will catch any liquid that may spew from the valve) and flipping the valve to release any remaining pressure.

  • Stir in the shredded/cubed chicken and optional sour cream, taste and re-season, then pour into a serving dish and allow to cool and thicken slightly for about 10 minutes.

  • Serve with additional sour cream, if desired, and enjoy!
