Instapot Chicken & Noodle Teriyaki

This is a recipe that everyone in our family keeps asking for. They clean their plates and ask for seconds. I hope you enjoy this one pot instapot meal. As of 8/31/23 I have made some updates to this recipe that I think improves upon an already great meal.

First prep this Teriyaki Marinade doing so in advance will cut down on prep time.

What you need:
Teriyaki Marinade double recipe (half for chicken and half for noodles)
4 chicken breast
2 packs of Pad Thai or rice noodles of choice
Optional * Bag of spinach or a few handfuls (can get creative, maybe fresh herbs or green onion)
Instapot/Pressure cooker – I have the Crockpot Brand
Pot for cooking noodles
Serves 4-6 people

**You do not need to be brand specific, really once you have the marinade it is just a few simple ingredients.**

**Add Chicken and half the prepared marinade to instapot.**

**Set instapot to 15-20 minutes on high depending on the thickness of the chicken. It will take approximately 10 minutes to warm up on top of the cook time. Make sure your valve is set to seal.**

Once the chicken cook time is up the instapot will switch to warm mode. Do not release the steam manually but allow it to release naturally, this will be an extra 5 minutes. Allowing for a natural release makes for a more tender chicken but you can release manually if you are in a time crunch. Remove chicken from the pot.
**Total cook time is roughly 35-40 minutes.**

**Shred chicken add back to the instapot with the spinach (if using) to wilt. Leave instapot in the warm setting.**

I used to cook noodles directly in the instapot but now I recommend cooking them traditional in a separate pot. While chicken is cooking. Boil water and cook noodles according to package minus one or two minutes. Drain noodles, add back to pot and add remaining Teriyaki Marinade. Simmer in marinade on low for 2 minutes while stirring. When finished turn off heat and set lid on noodles, allow to sit to soak up marinade while chicken finishes cooking.

**Total cook time is roughly 40 minutes. .**
**Serve chicken and noodles together or separately.**

**Tip:** **Use kitchen sheers to cut up noodles into smaller bites for younger eaters. Enjoy!**

I know these are not detailed instructions for how to use your instapot. Here is a great post if you need help with that. I do love our Pressure Cooker, so if you have one, I encourage you to dust it off and give this recipe a try. Report back!

Live well friends,
