Why I Love Instant Pot Chicken Recipes!

Have you taken the plunge and purchased an Instant Pot yet? I was on the fence about them last year but I made the “nice list” and Santa came through for me. I became the happy owner of the DUO Plus 6Qt 9-in-1 Instant Pot (<-affiliate link). Isn’t she pretty?

My favorite thing to cook in this ole’ girl has been chicken.

An Instant pot chicken recipe is the bomb dot com! Not just plain instant pot shredded chicken but yummy, flavor infused chicken recipes. You probably know this already, but I don’t do plain very well. It’s flavor or bust for me people!

Let’s review my instant pot chicken recipe timeline… First, there was the Shredded Mexican Chicken (AMAZING) then came the Buffalo Chicken and Spaghetti Squash (ridiculously delicious)… then this Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup (chicken noodle soup perfection). Most recently I’ve added my Instant Pot Chicken Thighs With Risotto,and these amazing Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings!

I’m just over here trying to guess what you might want to eat next. So please feel free to shoot me an email or comment below and tell me what you want. I love a good challenge – or just some direction – and you should know by now I’m so your girl!!!

But more about this savory elixir from heaven…

This instant pot chicken soup is so delectable! It tastes like the broth has been simmered for hours and hours in grandma’s kitchen. It’s so rich and flavorful – I can honestly say I like it better than my regular stovetop recipe – may she rest in peace.

I must admit luscious chicken broth is the heartbeat of this recipe. I should mention I especially like College Inn’s Bold Chicken Stock. It’s brimming with so much chicken flavor – what can I say? I’m all about as much rich deep flavor that I can get.

How to make Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup:

First things first… turn your Instant Pot on to the sauté (high) mode and let it heat up, add your olive oil, onions and garlic, and sauté 3 minutes. Then stir in your carrots, celery, herbs and spices.

Next, add your chicken stock, the chicken breast and chicken thighs, cover and seal the lid and pressure cook for 15 minutes.

When the time is up, cover the pressure nozzle with a kitchen towel and release the pressure manually.

Remove the chicken from the pot and turn the pot to the sauté mode. When it starts to simmer add in your noodles. Cook them for 6 minutes and turn the pot off. (The noodles will keep cooking in the hot broth so no need to cook them for the full time specified on the package – unless you just really want to… but don’t do that!)

Meanwhile, shred your chicken and discard the bones. Mix the chicken back into the soup, add some more fresh parsley and it’s ready to serve!

Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup – the most delicious flavorsome and satisfying chicken noodle soup evahh!

This recipe is sure to be one of your go-to soups this season! Enjoy my friend!
