Instant Pot Creamy Chicken And Noodles Recipes

INSTANT POT® CREAMY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Turn Instant Pot® to the "Saute" setting. Add butter and once melted, add garlic and white onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Avoid browning and burning garlic and onions. Add chicken broth. Stir and scrape the bottom of the Instant Pot® to remove anything stuck to it. Add carrots, celery, red Idaho® Potatoes, chicken breast, dried thyme, dried sage, dried marjoram, and 1 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir and cover with the lid.
• Set Instant Pot® to the "Pressure Cook" setting. Cook on high for 15 minutes. Move the valve to the sealing position. When done cooking, release the pressure manually.
• Open the lid, and transfer chicken breast to a plate. Discard skin and bones, and shred chicken.
• In a small bowl, whisk together milk and all-purpose flour. Set Instant Pot® to the "Saute" setting. Bring to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook accordingly to package instructions. Add the milk and flour mixture. Once egg noodles are cooked and soup is thickened, add the shredded chicken back to the pot. Stir. Taste the soup and add more salt to open up flavors if needed.
• Turn off the Instant Pot®. Serve soup and garnish with black pepper and parsley.

SUZANNE'S INSTANT POT® CREAMY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add chicken, bacon, carrots, and onion. Cook and stir frequently until onions are tender, chicken and bacon are cooked, and carrots are semi-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add broth, celery, and ranch seasoning.
• Break spaghetti into thirds and add to the pot; stir to be sure all pasta is coated with broth. Close and lock the lid and set vent to sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Stir in Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted. Stir in cream until combined. Season with salt and pepper.

ONE POT CREAMY CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a 5 quart pot or deep saute pan. Add chopped vegetables and minced garlic. Saute over medium-high heat for about five minutes, or until vegetables are just becoming tender.
• Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Continue to saute over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink on the outside. It does not have to be cooked through since it will continue to cook in the sauce.
• Stir in cream of chicken soup, milk (fill the chicken soup can), chicken broth, pasta and dry seasonings.
• Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to low. Simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring every five minutes to keep pasta from sticking together.
• Once pasta is cooked to al dente, remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese until melted. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover pot and let rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken the sauce.
• Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish.

INSTANT POT CREAMY CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Set the Instant Pot to Saute and let it heat up. When the Instant Pot is hot (it won't take very long to heat up) add butter (1 tbsp) and let it melt.
• Add onions to the melted butter and cook for 2 - 3 minutes, until onions are translucent.
• Add the spices. Add dried thyme (1 tsp), dried parsley (1 tsp), kosher salt (1 ½ tsp), turmeric (½ tsp), chicken bouillon (1 tsp), garlic powder (1 tsp), onion powder (1 tsp), and black pepper (1 tsp), then stir.
• "Deglaze" the pot with the chicken broth, then add uncooked egg noodles.
• Pour frozen vegetables over the top - stirring is optional. Make sure the noodles are submerged in the broth but the vegetables don't have to be.
• Lay the chicken over the noodles and sprinkle a little salt and pepper over it for extra seasoning. (I sometimes also like to add thin slices of butter on top of the chicken. As the Instant Pot heats up, the butter melts into the chicken.)
• Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the vent to Sealing.
• Press the Cancel button to cancel the Saute function, then set the Instant Pot to Manual Mode or Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 7 minutes.
• When the cooking cycle is complete, Naturally Release (NR) the pressure for 3 - 5 minutes by letting the Instant Pot sit and release pressure on its own. (Longer will result in softer noodles.)
• After 3 - 5 minutes of Natural Release, manually release the remaining pressure. Do this carefully using a controlled release. (See below for how to do that.)
• When all the pressure has been released, open the lid and remove the chicken. Place it off to the side and let it rest for a few minutes, then shred or dice it. Leave it off to the side (out of the broth) while you add the heavy cream.
• Add the heavy cream to the Instant Pot and stir. Let it sit for a few minutes, then add the chicken back.
• After adding the chicken back to the Instant Pot, optionally add a slurry to thicken the soup. I like to use arrowroot dissolved in water but you can also use corn starch. (This is optional as the soup will thicken as it sits but it does help thicken it faster.)
• Serve while hot - seasoning with extra salt and pepper as needed. Refrigerate leftovers once cooled for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove over low heat.
