Ingredients

1 1/4 lb boneless chicken breasts or thighs
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter
8 cremini mushrooms
1 onion
2 bay leaves
4 cloves garlic
6 cups unsalted chicken stock
1 tsp sea salt
3 carrots
3 ribs celery
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste (optional)
1/4 cup italian parsley

Steps

Set a 6-quart Instant Pot to sauté, heat the oil, and cook chopped onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken, stock, bay leaves, and salt, then seal the lid and cook at high pressure for 10 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then vent remaining pressure and check that the chicken reaches 165 F.
Remove the chicken and bay leaves, shred the chicken, and return the shredded meat to the pot.
Add the noodles, set the pot to sauté, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until the noodles are tender.
Stir in the parsley and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.
