Pressure Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup

Do you want an easy, delicious, and comforting soup that’s perfect for chilly winter days? This creamy Instant Pot chicken noodle soup is just what you need! It’s simple to make and can be ready in just minutes. Plus, it’s loaded with flavor and will warm you up from the inside out. So go ahead and give it a try – your family is sure to love it!

Ingredients

• 8 cups chicken broth
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups rotisserie chicken, or grilled chicken strips
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 8 ounces mushrooms
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 16 ounces dry rotini or egg noodles

Instructions:

1. Whisk together chicken broth and chicken soup in the Instant Pot bowl.
2. Add in the remaining ingredients.
3. Cook on high manual for 7 minutes.
4. Quick Pressure release.
5. Serve.

I really think my favorite thing to make in the Instant Pot is soup. For some reason, it just seems SO much easier than making it on the stove. And the flavor just tastes so much more delicious. 

Chicken noodle soup is a family favorite in the Barker family. When my dad was growing up, they would serve it over mashed potatoes. Have you ever heard of that? It sounded bizarre to me at first, but we tried it at a family Christmas party a few years ago, and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. Definitely try it out sometime. 

We made this recently for my parents and grandpa, and everyone thought it was really delicious. I’m not sure I’ll ever make it on the stove top again!

Notes on This Recipe:

• I highly recommend getting a rotisserie chicken from the store for this recipe. The best price is going to be at Costco or Sam’s Club for sure. I just think it makes the recipe even easier – I usually will buy one rotisserie chicken, shred it, and use it for two different meals (for instance, last week I made this chicken noodle soup and the delicious Easy Buffalo Chicken Pasta Bake)
• I know that rotini noodles aren’t the “traditional” noodles for a chicken noodle soup, but I just like the texture better. However, you can absolutely use egg noodles. I think it would be fun to try my Grandma’s famous homemade egg noodles as well. 
• If you want this soup to be extra creamy, you can add an extra can of cream of chicken soup.
• If your Instant Pot doesn’t have a soup setting, you should be fine just setting it on manual for the same amount of time.

Tools Use for this Recipe: 

For this recipe, you obviously need an Instant Pot. I personally have a 6 quart 7-in-1 multi cooker (this one is a little newer than mine, but it’s pretty much the same). 

Beyond that, you really just need a ladle to scoop the soup into bowls!

Sides for This Recipe: 

Rolls are definitely a must with chicken noodle soup. Here are a few different bread recipes that would go well with this soup:

• The AMAZING Legendary Lion House Rolls Recipe
• The BEST Quick Dinner Rolls Recipe
• Easy Garlic Knots

This recipe has some veggies in it, but you could easily add more to make it a little bit more hearty. A lot of people like celery, but it’s not my favorite, so I leave it out!

Today I’m sharing an easy Instant Pot Cornish game hen recipe that is perfect for a quick and delicious meal. These little birds are so moist and flavorful, you’ll be surprised how much they taste like a full-sized chicken. Plus, the Instant Pot makes them super tender in hardly any time at all. Give this recipe a try for your next family dinner!

With the popularity of our original Cornish hen recipe, I thought it would be helpful to create other ways to make them rather than just in the oven.

The other day I shared a slow cooker Cornish hen recipe, and today is all about the Instant Pot.

You definitely don’t want to skip the brining of the cornish game hen.

Ingredients

BRINE

• 9 cups water
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• salt
• pepper
• garlic powder
• lemon juice

Other Ingredients

• Olive oil or avocado oil
• 2 cups chicken broth
• Onion powder
• Ground mustard
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions:

1. At least 12 hours before you cook your Cornish hens, combine all the brine ingredients together in a big pot or bowl. Place Cornish hens in it and place in the refrigerator.
2. When ready to cook, turn Instant Pot to saute and add oil.
3. Place Cornish hens in the pot and saute for about five minutes per side.
4. Remove and deglaze the pot with a little bit of water or chicken broth.
5. Sprinkle onion powder, ground mustard, and more salt and pepper onto both sides of the Cornish hens.
6. Place trivet in the pot of your IP and put Cornish hens on top.
7. Put lid on and set IP to manual high pressure for 18 minutes.
8. When the timer is over, let the pressure release naturally for ten minutes.
9. Crisp up the tops with the Mealthy CrispLid or pop-under the broiler in the oven.

Most of these are the same questions you’ll find in this slow cooker cornish game hen recipe.

How long do Cornish game hens take to defrost? 

I usually place them in the refrigerator for 24 hours before I want to cook them.

How many can I fit in my Instant Pot?

I have a six-quart, and I was able to fit two. You *might* be able to fit one more with an eight-quart.

Are Cornish Hens baby chickens? 

According to Wikipedia, “Cornish Game Hen is the USDA-approved name for a variety of broiler chicken, produced from a cross between the Cornish and White Plymouth Rock chicken breeds, that is served young and immature, weighing no more than two pounds (900 g) ready to cook”

Do I have to brine these?

Yes! This is an essential step you shouldn’t skip.

How did you make these crispy?

I used my Mealthy CrispLid attachment (use code Clarkscondensed for $10 off a purchase of $59.95 or more). If you don’t have this, you can broil them in the oven!

Are Cornish Hens Keto? 

Yep! Without any seasonings or toppings, cornish game hens are Keto. Unless you add some kind of bread with bread crumbs, they will likely be a good Keto option.

Can I cook these frozen? 

Yes! The beautiful thing about the Instant Pot is that you can cook frozen meat. If they are completely frozen, you will want to cook them for about double the time.

How many Cornish hens per person?

Generally, one game hen is perfect for an adult or teenager. When we cook them for our children, one is good for two of them.

How to eat Cornish hens? 

We just put them on everyone’s plate and you can easily eat it with a knife and fork.

What oven temperature for a Cornish hen? 

You will want to cook your game hens until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit at their thickest spot.

Where to buy Cornish hen?

I am normally able to find them at most grocery stores. Costco will occasionally carry them in packs of six, I believe, and it’s the best price. However, they aren’t always in stock. I have purchased them from King Soopers (Kroger) and Target.

Are Cornish hens organic? 

The Tyson ones that I buy aren’t organic; however, I have seen Simple Truth organic cornish game hens recently (this is a Kroger brand)

Can you use biscuit dough for the chicken and dumplings?

Yes, you could do this. You will need to increase the cooking time of the chicken, though.

Yes – I would use 3/4 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup water.

Shredded Honey Garlic Chicken

It’s hard enough to find time to cook dinner, let alone something that’s healthy and tastes good.

The Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe is the perfect solution. This recipe is simple, only requires a few ingredients, and cooks in the Instant Pot in minutes. You’ll have a delicious and healthy dinner on the table in no time!

The combination of the honey, garlic and soy sauce provide the best sweet and salty combination that you will find yourself craving!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce, coconut aminos or gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
• red pepper flakes, for garnish
• chopped green onions, for garnish

What is the difference between soy sauce and coconut aminos?

Coconut aminos are a great soy sauce replacement for people with soy allergies or who are trying to reduce their sodium intake. They have a slightly sweet taste and are made from coconut sap. Soy sauce is made from soybeans, wheat, salt, and water. It has a more savory flavor and is higher in sodium.

Can I use chicken tenders instead of chicken breast?

Yes, you can use chicken tenders instead of chicken breast in this recipe. You will just want to cook it for a little bit shorter – about four minutes.

Can I use frozen chicken?

Frozen chicken will work just fine. However, the cooking times will need to be adjusted:

• 25 minutes for frozen chicken breasts
• 7 minutes for frozen chicken tenderloin

What is the best kind of honey to use?

The best kind of honey to use in this recipe is mild honey, such as clover honey or wildflower honey. You could also use a flavored honey, such as lavender honey or orange blossom honey. Do not use a strongly flavored honey, such as buckwheat honey, because it will overpower the other flavors in the recipe.

We prefer to use a raw honey from a local source.

Do I have to use so much garlic?

This is definitely a garlic-lover’s dish! However, if you’d like to cut back on it, you could use half of what the recipe calls for without hurting the integrity of the dish.

Can you substitute honey with sugar?

Sometimes it’s tempting to substitute honey with sugar. It’s less messy and cheaper.

But for this recipe, stick to the honey. (Pun intended!)

Honey adds more liquid and gives a better, homemade flavor.

We love chicken alfredo – although you can just pick up a jar from the store, nothing quite beats homemade. The next time you have a craving for chicken alfredo, this new recipe is one you are going to want to try.

This is the best Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo pasta because it is so simple and easy to make – it’s always a family favorite. The chicken cooks quickly in the Instant Pot and the sauce is made with just a few simple ingredients that you likely have on hand. This dish can be on your table in less than an hour, and it’s one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes. It is even delicious when served the next day!

. Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped into one inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup whipping cream
• 8 ounces fettuccine noodles
• 4 ounces freshly grated Parmesan
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• salt and pepper to taste

Can I use chicken tenderloins instead?

Yes, you can use frozen chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts. The cooking time will be the same as you are cutting them up into small pieces either way.

What is the best way to cook the chicken?

The best way to cook chicken for this recipe is to chop it into one-inch pieces. This allows the chicken to cook evenly and quickly in the Instant Pot.

Can I use a different type of pasta?

Yes, you can use any type of pasta that you like for this recipe. However, the cooking time may need to be adjusted depending on the type of pasta that you use. Penne Pasta, rotini, and angel hair pasta are our favorites.

What if I don’t have chicken stock?

If you don’t have chicken stock, you can use bone broth instead. This will give the dish a richer flavor.

How can I cut back on the fat in this recipe?

If you are looking to cut back on the fat in this recipe, you can use skim milk instead of whipping cream. This will still give the sauce a creamy texture without all of the fat.

Can I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?

If it’s not available, don’t sweat it and substitute garlic powder instead.

If you use garlic salt, do not add additional salt during the “salt and pepper” to taste step.

Be aware that garlic salt can make this dish too salty!

Can I use Canned chicken or rotisserie chicken in this recipe?

Yes, you can! You may still want to saute it a little bit before cooking.

How to Make Instant Pot Alfredo

1. Season chicken with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper
2. Set a 6-qt Instant Pot® to the high saute setting.
3. Melt butter. Once melted, add chicken, and saute chicken, stirring often, until golden brown.
4. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove chicken and set aside.
5. Stir in half of the chicken stock scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
6. Stir in remaining chicken stock, heavy cream, and pasta.
7. Place chicken pieces on top of the pasta mixture.
8. Select manual setting and adjust to high pressure. Set timer for 6 minutes and double check the lid is in the sealing position. When finished cooking, do quick release pressure (a natural pressure release will result in a mushy pasta).
9. Stir pasta and let mixture stand for a minute or two.
10. Stirring mixture occasionally until half the liquid is reduced by half. This takes about 3 minutes.
11. Stir in Parmesan until melted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
12. Serve immediately and garnish with Italian seasoning or fresh parsley.

How can I make this recipe more creamy?

If you like your Chicken Alfredo extra creamy, feel free to add an additional tablespoon of butter, a few more splashes of whipping cream and a few more sprinkles of Parmesan cheese. You could also mix in some softened cream cheese.

How can I reheat chicken alfedo?

If you face the unlikely situation of leftovers (rarely happens in our house!), then re-heat the chicken Alfredo leftovers on the stove.

• Use a medium-sized sauce pan and add additional butter, Parmesan cheese, whipping cream, and salt and pepper. Heat the chicken alfredo until hot and bubbly.
• Remove from heat and stir before serving.

Dishes often dry out when reheated, so enjoy your leftovers by adding the above ingredients!

What should I serve this with?

This Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo can be served with a variety of sides. Some options include a salad, breadsticks, a loaf of crusty bread, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables.

How long do the leftovers last for?

This dish will last in the fridge for up to four days in an airtight container. Reheat it in the microwave or on the stove until it is warmed through.

You may need to add a little bit of water to the dish if it seems too dry.

Can Chicken Alfredo be frozen?

Yes, this dish can be frozen for up to three months. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. Adding a little bit of water to the dish may be necessary when reheating.

How can I keep this recipe from drying out?

The best way to keep this dish from drying out is to not overcook the chicken. Cut the chicken into one-inch pieces so that it will cook evenly and quickly. The sauce will also help to keep the dish moist.

How come the sauce broke?

If the sauce broke, it is likely because the cream was too hot when it was added to the Instant Pot. To prevent this from happening, let the cream sit for a minute or two after boiling before adding it to the pot. Stirring continually will also help to prevent the sauce from breaking.

The Instant Pot makes cooking this dish a breeze – perfect if you’re short on time and need something with a quicker cook time. So why not give it a try tonight? You won’t be disappointed! It is one of the best Instant Pot chicken recipes around!

It’s a busy weeknight and you have no idea what to cook for dinner. After a long day at work, cooking can feel like a nuisance. You don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen cooking after your hard day, but you still want to eat healthy and delicious food.

Our mouth-watering Instant Pot chicken potatoes and carrots recipe is guaranteed to finish your busy day on a high! This easy-to-follow recipe doesn’t take much time at all, which makes it perfect for those busy weeknights. It’s such a simple Instant pot chicken recipe that everyone should have in their recipe box that the entire family will love.

We love that this dish is a great recipe for busy nights but it is filled with fresh veggies, buttery potatoes, and it only takes a few extra minutes in the kitchen to make. We also love that it’s so versatile – you can easily swap out ingredients you don’t have for other ones. Don’t have large carrots? No problem – just use baby carrots instead. Wishing you could have a tasty Instant Pot chicken thighs meal? Great – chicken thighs work beautifully in this recipe as well!

This would also make for a fantastic Sunday supper. If you aren’t a fan of roast beef, this is a similar idea – just with chicken. It is also great for meal prepping for the week, as you can easily portion it into smaller containers to be eaten throughout the week. It also might feel similar to an Instant Pot chicken stew, just not with as much liquid.

Can I use a different kind of potatoes?

 Yes, you can use any kind of potatoes for this Instant Pot chicken potatoes and carrots dish. Red potatoes work best because they hold their shape after cooking, but if you don’t have those at home, any other variety will work.

Yukon gold potatoes are another favorite of mine – they are such flavorful potatoes. Russet potatoes are probably my least favorite for this dish. I think sweet potatoes would mix up the flavor a little bit and make it even more of tasty comfort food. I wouldn’t recommend putting large potatoes into the pot, though. Make sure you pre-cut them.

How much liquid should I add?

We recommend using the 1.5 cups of chicken broth that is recommended in the recipe.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

This recipe also works perfectly with chicken thighs. Just increase the cooking time to 5 minutes instead of 5 minutes on high pressure and one minute on the quick release.

My potatoes are not soft! What did I do wrong?

This is probably because you didn’t cut the carrots into small pieces before cooking them with the potatoes. Cutting them into smaller pieces ensures that they will cook faster and be ready at the same time as your chicken thighs.

Can I add other vegetables to this meal?

Absolutely! Vegetables such as corn, green peas or even carrots can be added to this meal; just make sure you cut everything into small pieces before cooking.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in roughly 2 1/2 inch pieces
• 2 pounds baby red potatoes

• 2 tablespoons dry Ranch seasoning 
• 2 teaspoons dry Ranch seasoning
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• Parmesan cheese, grated
• Chopped onion, for garnish if desired
• salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In large bowl toss chicken, potatoes and carrots in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Stir together garlic, thyme, oregano, and 2 tablespoons of the Ranch seasoning. Sprinkle mixture on top of the chicken and potatoes. Gently toss to distribute the ingredients evenly.
3. Add chicken broth to the pressure cooker.
4. Place chicken in the broth, and top with the potatoes.
5. Place the lid on in the locked position and turn the vent to the sealed position.

7. Drain the pressure cooker or transfer chicken, potatoes, and carrots to a serving dish.  
8. Sprinkle chicken, potatoes, and carrots with parmesan cheese and remaining ranch seasoning before serving.
9. Garnish with fresh, chopped green onions if desired

Can I change what herbs I use?

Sure! Use whatever herbs your family would prefer. We do think the combination we’ve provided is pretty delicious, though!

Can I make this recipe in my crockpot or slow cooker?

Yes, this dish also works great in the crockpot or slow cooker so if you don’t have an Instant Pot you can still enjoy it! Cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. Shred the chicken thighs before serving and stir in chopped parsley.

What sides should I serve with this?

Something that is so great about this recipe is that it is almost your entire meal – it has protein, grains, and vegetables. We think it’s perfect when served with a side of homemade yeast dinner rolls.

What are some variations?

What we love about this recipe is how adaptable it is. You can experiment with what fresh vegetables you put in it (green beans would be delicious!), add some lemon zest before serving, and even change up the herbs. Fresh dill, anyone?!

If you want to crisp up the chicken a little bit, you could place it under the broiler for a few minutes before serving.

If you add more broth, you could even make it into a delicious chicken soup!

Can I use pre-cooked chicken?

While I don’t recommend this, if you happen to have a rotisserie chicken, you could add that in after it’s cooked.

How do I store leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. To reheat, just put in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until fully heated through. You can also freeze these leftovers for up to 2 months in an airtight container for easy future meals!

Portion control I love using my Pyrex 3-cup Glass Rectangular containers with lids to store and reheat leftovers because they’re microwavable and dishwasher safe!

what can I do with the leftovers?

This meal can have some leftovers – one of our favorite things to do is make it into an Instant Pot Chicken stew! Yum!

Why do you use Ranch Dressing in This Instant Pot Chicken Recipe?

Great question!

The extra sprinkles of powdered ranch give an extra boost of flavor.

I’m sure Grandma would have put it in her chicken, potatoes, and carrot recipe too!

It takes a chicken recipe from…”Okay” to “Oh…YUM!!!”

How do I make a homemade powdered ranch mix?

Here is a great homemade version you can try out!

Can I use italian seasoning instead of the thyme and oregano?

Absolutely! We frequently do this.

Can I use another type of pressure cooker?

This should work well in any brand of an electric pressure cooker.

Can I use fresh herbs instead?

You absolutely can!

Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes. Simply freeze AFTER you’ve completed the recipe.

• Let mixture cool and place in a freezer-friendly air-tight container.
• You can freeze this recipe for up to 3 months.
• When ready to eat, simply thaw mixture and reheat on stove.
