PRESSURE COOKER FARMHOUSE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Pressure Cooker Farmhouse Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon vegetable or extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped fine, about one large yellow onion.
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme, or 1/4 teaspoon. dried thyme
6 to 8 cups water, depends on the size of your pressure cooker
4 carrots, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 celery ribs, sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 bouquet garni made with a few sprigs of fresh parsley and a bay leaf tied with kitchen string (optional but adds extra flavor)
1 (4 -pound) whole chicken, giblets discarded, or, a chicken cut-up, but NOT boneless, 2 breasts with four legs
(NOTE: I use2 chicken breasts, bone-in and either 2 thighs or 2 drumsticks any combo instead of buying a whole chicken)
Salt and pepper
4 ounces (2 2/3 cups) wide egg noodles (I used extra wide.)
1/4 cup minced parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oil in pressure cooker pot over medium heat until shimmering (For the Instant Pot, I use the saute button). Add the onion (and a pinch of salt) and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Be careful not to brown the garlic. Stir in water, carrots, celery, and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place, breast-side up, in the pot (or just add cut-up chicken parts). Putting the chicken breast side up ensures more even cooking of the chicken. NOTE: I have now opted to buy a cut up chicken, as this makes shredding the cooked meat a lot easier to do. After adding the chicken, be sure that the contents of the pot do not exceed the max fill level of your pressure cooker.) Lock pressure cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat for a stove top PC. As soon as the pot reaches high pressure, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain high pressure. NOTE: For the Instant Pot, set on manual for 20 minutes, on HIGH. Remove pot from heat. Quick release pressure, then carefully remove the lid, allowing steam to escape away from you. (Follow your pressure cooker's manual for quick-release instructions.) NOTE: The first time I filled my pot with 8 cups of water, which was just below the max line. When I did a manual pressure release, a lot of liquid spurted out-- and I had to put a towel around the lid, so as not to risk being burned by hot liquid. Be careful! Transfer chicken to cutting board, let cool slightly, then shred meat into bite-size pieces, discarding skin and bones. (I went for big chunks of chicken.) Using a large spoon, skim excess fat from the surface of the soup. Bring soup to boil, stir in noodles, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. *NOTE: I do NOT cook my noodles in with the soup. Instead, I cook the noodles in salted water, separately, then rinse and drain. If you use a bouquet garni, and a cheese cloth with peppercorns, toss that, too. Stir in shredded chicken and parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve. NOTE: If cooking noodles separately (highly recommended by me), place some noodles in a bowl, and then the broth, with chicken meat and vegetables to serve. Garnish with parsley. TASTING NOTES: At first, I wasn't sure if adding soy sauce was all that great. My family loved it. The next day, the soup took on a whole new life, and it tasted even better! This is now my "go to" chicken soup recipe, and I keep a quart or two in the freezer at all times. This recipe can easily be adapted to a regular stove top stock pot, so no worries if you don't own a pressure cooker. I use an Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker and it has become a regular cooking tool in my kitchen. I was surprised to find so many internet recipes for pressure cooker chicken soup includes adding bouillon or chicken stock! Really? Why can't I use a whole chicken, add vegetables, herbs and aromatics to get a soup that has plenty of flavor? Well, thanks to America's Test Kitchen "Pressure Cooker Perfection" I achieved that-- and the secret ingredient (that I was dubious about) actually gave the broth a depth of flavor that tasted even better the next day. I made a couple of tweaks in the recipe and this is now my "go to" chicken noodle soup recipe.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 24

ITALIAN SAUCE
3 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 medium white onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, choppped
3 tsp minced garlic (i used the jarred and added a little of the juice)
2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes
1 8-oz can tomato sauce
1 tsp red pepper flakes, optional (i always use)
1 tsp fennel seed
1 to 2 tsp sweet basil, dried (can use 1/2 cup fresh if you have on hand)
1 tsp italian seasoning, dried
salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
CHICKEN AND PASTA
2 to 4 boneless and skinned chicken breast
1 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c panko bread crumbs (can be found in grocery store section with flour and meal)
1 to 2 large egg
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp butter (may need more)
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin (may need more)
pasta cooked to directions (i used thin spaghetti)
mozzarella cheese (slices or shredded) enough to top chicken cutlets

Steps:

  • 1. SAUCE: Heat oil in a medium size sauce pan over a medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; cook until tender
  • 2. Add diced tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce and seasonings. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes covered. Uncover and contine to simmer another 15 minutes, stirring occassionally until thickened. Taste test, add add'l seasoning if desired.
  • 3. PREPARING CHICKEN: Pound chicken to about 1/4 inch thickness. NOTE: If chicken breast are large, you can pound to 1/4 inch thickness and slice in 1/2 for 2 servings.
  • 4. Set up 3 bowls for battering: 1st bowl combine flour and salt and pepper to taste. 2nd bowl beat eggs with 2 tablespoons milk. 3rd bowl panko bread crumbs, italian seasoning and a sprinkle of salt if desired.
  • 5. In a large skillet heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over a med/high heat, closer to a med heat than a high heat. Add more as needed.
  • 6. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Dredge in flour mixture 1st, then dip in egg mixture and last dredge in panko bread crumbs.
  • 7. Fry until a nice golden brown on both sides. Add add'l olive oil and butter as needed. NOTE: You are not deep frying, just keep pan nicely coated.
  • 8. Line an appropiate size pan with foil; place cutlets in pan. Spoon a small about of sauce over chicken (2 to 3 tablespoons). Top with a slice of mozzarella cheese (or 2 to 3 tablespoons of shredded). Place under broiler in oven until cheese melts (about 2 minutes). NOTE: I put rack on 3rd level from broiler.
  • 9. Place pasta on plates, spoon some of the sauce over pasta, top with a chicken cutlet and spoon more sauce over chicken. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a combination of cooking methods. Browning the chicken in a skillet before transferring it to the oven gives it a crispy skin and flavorful crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking multiple pieces of chicken, make sure there's enough space between them so they can cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the oven.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Farmhouse chicken is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a farmhouse chicken dinner that your family and friends will love.
