Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ½ pounds chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper, to taste

- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment
Instructions
- Press SAUTE on your Instant Pot and let it heat up. Add in the olive oil, chicken and onion.
- Sauté chicken and onion in the Instant Pot for 2-3 minutes or until the outside of the chicken is seared.
- Add in parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well so that all chicken is coated in seasonings.
- Add in egg noodles, chicken broth, water and frozen vegetables. Don't stir together - just keep everything layered and try to have as much of the noodles covered by the liquid as possible (it's okay if they are not completely covered).
- Press MANUAL button and set timer for 5 minutes.
- Do a quick release of the pressure. Remove the lid once the pressure is gone and stir in evaporated milk.
- Press SAUTE button again.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until sauce thickens. Add in shredded cheese and mix until melted and sauce is smooth. Serve topped with fresh parsley, if desired
Notes
- If you don't have evaporated milk, you can substitute with 1 cup of heavy cream or 1 cup of half and half. You can try regular milk, but your sauce won't be as thick and creamy.
- Feel free to add other vegetables. Here are some of our favorites:
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- green beans
- peas
- zucchini
- squash
- spinach
- green peppers
- If you use other fresh vegetables, they might need to cook for a little longer or you could steam them before throwing them in with the chicken and noodle mixture to make sure that they are tender.
