Chicken and Dumpling Noodles

I am falling more and more in love with our Instant Pot every time I use it. It has especially come in handy for some maintenance-free comfort food recipes since both of us have had a cold for what seems like forever. While neither of us had too much of an appetite last night, I KNEW I needed to make something for us.....and this dish did not disappoint. Cold or not, my belly would have been happy with this meal!

Ingredients:
  • 1lb boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into cubes
  • 1 tbsp butter or ghee
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 12oz frozen wide egg noodles
  • 16oz bag frozen mixed veggies (carrot, peas, corn, green beans)
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken stock
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1 tbsp corn starch or arrowroot starch

Instructions:

1. Press Saute on the Instant Pot and wait for it to heat. Once the "hot" light comes on, add the butter/ghee and allow it to melt. Then stir in the chicken, onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and thyme. Continue to stir and cook until the chicken turns white.

2. Put the Instant Pot onto the Warm setting while you add the remaining ingredients - veggies, noodles (make sure there are no big clumps), and chicken broth. Make sure the veggies and noodles are covered by the broth.

3. Select the Pressure Cook button on the Instant Pot and set the timer for 8 minutes. Be sure the lid is set to "sealing" and put it on tight. Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, and then switch the valve to "releasing" to release any remaining pressure.

4. After you open the Instant Pot, scoop out about 1/2 of the liquid and add it to a small bowl. Whisk in the corn starch until there are no clumps. Add the corn starch/broth mixture back into the pot and turn the Saute button on again. 

5. Bring the soup to a boil, stirring well to incorporate everything. Once boiling, turn the Instant Pot off and allow soup to cool for a few minutes before serving.
