Ingredients

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 cups chicken stock

  • 2 tablespoons paprika

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 (12 ounce) package wide egg noodles

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 ½ tablespoons water, or as needed

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

Directions

  1. Pat chicken dry; season with salt and pepper.

  2. Turn on a multifunctional pressure cooker such as Instant Pot. Select the Sauté function. Heat olive oil. Add chicken in 2 batches and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pot and set aside.

  3. Add onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté, frequently stirring until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, paprika, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Mix with a wooden spoon. Return chicken to the pot.

  4. Close and lock the lid. Set the steam release valve to the sealing position and press Manual and high pressure. Set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  5. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in egg noodles. Close and lock lid; select High pressure and set the timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  6. Immediately release the pressure manually, about 5 minutes. Select the Sauté function. Mix cornstarch with water in a bowl and pour into the pot. Add heavy cream and sour cream. Mix thoroughly and turn off the heat.
