Equipment

1 pressure cooker

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breasts fresh or frozen, boneless skinless
1 cup chicken broth
1 packet Italian dressing mix
1/4 cup butter
1 can cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup
1 block cream cheese cut into cubes, softened

Instructions

Add chicken and broth to the instant pot. Sprinkle dressing mix on top of the chicken. Add butter. Set to poultry (or manual) high pressure for 15 minutes. When cooking is complete, let steam naturally release for 10 minutes.
Release pressure valve and carefully open the pot. Using two forks, shred the chicken. Stir in cream of chicken soup and cream cheese until completely melted. If necessary, set the instant pot to saute to create some heat while stirring and help the cheese melt.
Serve immediately on top of egg noodles cooked separately.

Notes

With Frozen Chicken Breasts

If starting from frozen make sure they are small sized, boneless and skinless. They need to be separated or this will not be successful. If not run under cool water to pull apart from one another and lay inside pot overlapping the least amount possible. Timing will not change unless they are larger pieces, in that case change to 20 minutes cook time.
