 Do you know that feeling where you don’t have a dinner menu planned and your family is all standing there wondering what you’re serving? There is no meat defrosted, nothing prepped and you don’t have any ideas. Creamy chicken and noodles is the kind of dinner that solves those problems. You can start with frozen chicken, the whole meal is made in the Instant Pot and there is very little effort involved. Your family will enjoy a flavorful meal without ever knowing how close you were to disaster! WHY YOU’LL LOVE INSTANT POT CHICKEN NOODLESThis Instant Pot creamy chicken and noodles recipe is based off one of my family’s favorite meals, creamy chicken pot pie. We love the flavor of the pie, but we don’t always have the time to put it together and let it bake. Last fall, I transformed that recipe into a one-pot meal that gave us that flavor quicker. Now, I have taken it one step further by making it in the Instant Pot. This family-friendly dinner comes together in a snap, with ingredients you are likely to have on hand. First, you cook the chicken in broth, then toss in the pasta and veggies. In no time at all, you will be stirring in the sour cream and serving up dinner. There is only one dish to clean and the whole family will be happy. If you like to try another one-pot family meal, check out my creamy spaghetti and meatballs recipe on my blog.

However, you can use any pasta you’d like. I would recommend using pasta with ridges or swirls to help pick up the sauce, but from there you can do whatever your heart desires. If you aren’t a fan of mixed vegetables, you could use peas and carrots instead. Or feel free to use all peas if you prefer. It will be good no matter what vegetables you decide to use. Frozen chicken breasts work well for this recipe, making this a great meal for days when you forgot to pull something out. If you have defrosted or fresh chicken, go ahead and brown it a bit before you cook it. About The Recipe AuthorI am Carlee from Cooking With Carlee.
