Prior to the instant pot I had to break up my cooking and make sure the chicken was done and then sit in a slow cooker all day, but now thanks to pressure cooking, this is a one pot quick meal that your entire family will appreciate.

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
Before you get started, make sure you grab your chicken noodle ingredients below. I encourage you to use fresh pasta as it just tastes so much more homemade than boxed. You can typically find it in a cold aisle. You can also go all out and make your own pasta, but that would completely negate the fact that this is a quick recipe, am I right?
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup matchstick carrots
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 32 ounces (4 cups) chicken broth
- 4.5 oz, fresh fettuccine pasta, cut into 2″ pieces

We made this tonight and it was quite good – we both thought it needed a little salt. Super easy and very quick from start to table. Except for the fresh pasta we had everything on hand so that was a big plus. We are new to Instant Pot cooking and so far loving it.
Dana, so happy! I am one of those that dont love tons of salt, but Im glad you added this in the comments so people know to add a pinch. I appreciate it!
