Flu Season Casserole–a tasty chicken, noodle and vegetable dinner that you can make fast in your Instant Pot.
Flu Season Casserole
When you’re in the middle of flu season and you want something besides soup this dish is a winner. It’s like a cross between chicken noodle soup and a creamy casserole. It’s a dump and go recipe which means you’ll add the ingredients into the pot and walk away. Plus it has only a 1 minute pressure cook time (those egg noodles cook fast) so it’s something you can make on a night when you don’t have a ton of time. Skyler and I both loved this dish!

Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 1 minute. When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.

Notes/Tips
- Serve alongside garlic bread and caesar salad.
- Instead of a half cup of each of the frozen vegetables you can use 1 ½ cups of frozen mixed vegetables.
- For extra flavor add a dash of hot sauce or a little parmesan cheese when serving.
- To make it soupier you can increase broth and milk at the end to make it more like a creamy soup.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with peas are Instant Pot Brown Rice Pilaf with Chicken Sausage and Instant Pot Dinner in a Dish.
