Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbling and golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 5
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove chicken and cut into bite-sized pieces. Add chicken back into the pot. Scatter noodles on top so they don't clump up.
