An IP can be a little intimidating at first, but once you get over the fear, you will end up using it multiple times a week. This recipe is a perfect one to start with. It is easy to make, and tastes like you spent hours making it.
For this recipe, you sauté the veggies in the pot. This is one of my favorite functions of the IP, is everything is done in one pot. You know what that means?!? Less dishes!
Then you add the whole chicken in the pot over the sautéed veggies. Add 8 cups of water, salt and pepper, and soy sauce. Lock the lid in place and set the pressure to high for 20 minutes.
Use the quick release to release the pressure. Once all the pressure is out, carefully remove the lid. Remove the chicken, which will be so tender it will be falling off the bone, and set aside to shred with two forks.
Turn the IP back to sauté and let the broth come to a simmer.
Add in the noodles, and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Once the noodles are to the desired tenderness, add in the shredded chicken and parsley.
Scoop heaping ladles full into bowls and enjoy!
