Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 shallots, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 cups arrabbiata pasta sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 cup plain yogurt, divided
3 tablespoons paprika

Directions

1 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function; add olive oil. Add shallots and garlic; sauté until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in pasta sauce, chicken broth, and red wine vinegar.
2 Season chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper; add to the Pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
3 Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes; drain. Toss noodles with butter, parsley, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and remaining ½ teaspoon black pepper; keep warm until ready to serve.
4 Release Instant Pot pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method.
5 Whisk together ½ cup yogurt and ½ cup cooking sauce from Instant Pot, 1 tablespoon at a time, in a small bowl to temper yogurt; whisk in paprika until well blended. Stir yogurt-paprika mixture into the Pot until incorporated.
6 Shred chicken thighs; serve with sauce over cooked noodles. Garnish servings with a dollop of plain yogurt.
