Instant Pot Chicken Paprikash with Egg Noodles

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Chicken Paprikash with Egg Noodles.

1. Step 1

   Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.

2. Step 2

   Once boiling, add your egg noodles and cook them until they’re tender yet still have a delightful bite, which should take about 7 to 9 minutes.

3. Step 3

   After cooking, drain the noodles and toss them with a generous pat of butter, minced parsley, half a teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of pepper.

4. Step 4

   Keep these warm and cozy while you prepare the chicken.

5. Step 5

   Next, turn on your Instant Pot and select the 'Sauté' function.

6. Step 6

   Drizzle in some olive oil, then add finely chopped shallots and minced garlic.

7. Step 7

   Sauté these aromatic ingredients for about 2 to 3 minutes, until they become fragrant and inviting.

8. Step 8

   Now, pour in the arrabbiata pasta sauce, chicken broth, and a splash of red wine vinegar to create a rich, flavorful base.

9. Step 9

   Take your chicken thighs and season them with the remaining teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of pepper.

10. Step 10

    Gently place the seasoned chicken into the pot, nestling it into the sauce.

11. Step 11

    Close and lock the lid, then set your Instant Pot to high pressure for 12 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Don’t forget, it will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up before cooking begins.

13. Step 13

    Once the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes.

14. Step 14

    After that, carefully switch to the quick-release method to let out any remaining steam.

15. Step 15

    While the chicken is resting, grab a small bowl and mix together half a cup of yogurt with half a cup of the delicious sauce from the pot.

16. Step 16

    To avoid curdling, add the sauce a tablespoon at a time, stirring gently.

17. Step 17

    Once combined, stir in some paprika for a touch of warmth and color.

18. Step 18

    Pour this creamy mixture back into the pot and give everything a good stir to blend those flavors beautifully.

    Now it’s time to shred the tender chicken thighs and serve them over your warm, buttery egg noodles.
