Ingredients

3 Chicken Breasts
1/2 pack of (24 oz Value Size) Frozen Noodles (I use the brand Mary B’s from Walmart)
1- 10.5 oz can Cream of Chicken Soup
4 C. water
salt/pepper to taste

Step by Step:

  • Place your frozen or thawed chicken breasts and 4 cups of water in your Instant Pot.
  • Let your Frozen noodles be thawing while your chicken is cooking.
  • Pressure on Meat/Stew setting and I always up my time about 10 minutes so that my chicken is falling apart when it’s complete. (make sure you shred your chicken with a fork/knife if it’s not already falling aprt)
  • Once your Chicken is cooked, you’ve created a nice broth to then place your frozen noodles and can of cream of chicken soup into your Instant Pot with your chicken.
  • Place your Instant Pot on the simmer setting (medium) for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste!

Tip: I ended up adding a bit more water at the end because it wasn’t the consistency I like, so keep in mind go with your personal preference in the end and add more water if you like!
