Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 shallots, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
• 3 tablespoons paprika
• 6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
• 2 cups arrabbiata pasta sauce
• 1 cup plain yogurt, divided
• 0.25 cup chicken broth

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and toss with butter, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Keep noodles warm while preparing the chicken.

Step 2

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil, shallots, and garlic; saute until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in pasta sauce, chicken broth, and red wine vinegar.

Step 3

Place 1/2 cup yogurt in a small bowl. Add in 1/2 cup of sauce, a tablespoon at time, to temper the yogurt. Add paprika and blend well. Pour yogurt mixture back into the pot. Shred the chicken thighs and serve over cooked noodles. Garnish each serving with a dollop of yogurt.

Step 4

Season chicken with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add chicken to the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 5

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method.
