Description

Chicken and noodle casserole with mushrooms and a crispy cheesy topping made in your Instant Pot.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 5 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 8 ounces old fashioned wide egg noodles (I used Mrs. Miller's brand)
  • 10-12 ounces of boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup panko crumbs
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the butter and let it melt. Add in the onion and pinch of salt. Saute for 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms. Saute for 3 more minutes.
  2. Pour in the soy sauce, lemon juice and broth. Scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
  3. Add in the pepper, noodles, chicken and ¼ tsp kosher salt. Don’t stir.
  4. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  5. Stir in the cream.
  6. In a small bowl stir together the panko, olive oil and cheese. 
  7. Sprinkle it on top of the noodles. Use an air fryer lid to crisp up the top by baking at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. If you don’t have an air fryer lid you may place the stainless steel liner in the oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes on the top rack.
  8. Serve and enjoy!
