Ingredients

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, or more to taste
6 cups chicken broth, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked wide egg noodles
1 cup water as needed
1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream

Directions

1 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and add chicken and 2 cups broth. Close and lock the lid and seal the vent. Choose manual high pressure and set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
2 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
3 Remove chicken, shred, and set aside. Pour broth into a bowl and reserve.
4 Turn the empty Instant Pot to Saute and melt butter. Add onion to melted butter and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Add shredded chicken, reserved broth, and remaining broth. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place egg noodles on top and press down to submerge; if necessary, add more water just to cover the noodles.
5 Close and lock the lid and seal the vent. Choose manual high pressure and set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
6 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
7 Add frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream to the pot. Stir to combine and replace the lid. Wait 5 minutes for vegetables to warm through.
