Thai Chicken Noodles ( Instapot)
Instant Pot Thai Chicken Noodles
Ingredients
- 2 tsp canola or vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite size pieces
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth (or 2 cups water and 2 tsp better than bouillon chicken base)
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 8 ounces whole wheat thin spaghetti noodles, uncooked
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3/4 cup snipped cilantro
- 1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
Instructions
- Turn your Instant Pot to the saute function. When the display says HOT add in the oil. Add in the chicken and saute for about 3 minutes. Add in garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add in the chicken broth and deglaze the pot. Add in the soy sauce and red pepper. Break the noodles in half and add them to the pot. The liquid should cover the noodles almost completely.
- Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes on high pressure. When the time is up move the valve to venting.
- Open the pot and stir in the lime juice and peanut butter. There will be a bit of liquid in the pot but it will get absorbed fairly quickly. Stir in the bell pepper and cilantro.
- Scoop noodles into bowls and top each one with 2 Tbsp of peanuts and additional cilantro, if desired.
