Steps
Step 1
Set your multifunction cooker on Saute on HIGH heat (or set a Dutch oven pot on HIGH). Once hot, add ginger and onion. Sear until fragrant and dark spots appear along the edges, about 3 minutes. DO NOT use oil. Then turn the setting off and allow the pot to slightly cool.
Step 2
Add the remaining ingredients MINUS the chicken breast.
Step 3
Pressure Cook on HIGH for 10 minutes. If using a Dutch oven pot, simmer on low for 2 – 3 hours, ensuring the lid is on tight.
Step 4
At the end of the cooking cycle, release the pressure. Then add the chicken breasts and cook for 10 – 15 minutes on LOW, until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 5
Remove the chicken and pull it apart or cut it against the grain. Also, strain the hot broth, removing all of the seasoning.
Step 6
Add your choice of noodles to a bowl, then add chicken, the broth and your choice of garnish.
Step 7
Enjoy!!
