Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup {Grandma's Recipe}

Step 1

In Instant Pot, place chicken, onion, carrots, bay leaves, peppercorns and water (half chicken broth if cooking with breasts).

Step 2

Close the lid, set pressure vent to Sealing and press Pressure Cook on High or Manual for: whole chicken and bone-in pieces - 30 minutes, chicken breasts - 10 minutes.

Step 3

After, wait for 10 minutes and do Quick Release by turning pressure valve to Venting position, which takes 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Open the lid and using a mesh strainer discard any foam, onion, bay leaves and peppercorns.

Step 5

At this point chicken is so cooked, you can easily break it into pieces with a long utensil right inside the pot, remove bones. If using chicken breasts, remove on a plate and shred with 2 forks.

Step 6

Add oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and egg noodles. Stir, close the lid, turn on Keep Warm and let noodles “cook” for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Open, add fresh parsley or dill and serve hot. That was easy dinner in one pot.
