Notes
Instant pot version Instructions:
Place chicken in instant pot. Sprinkle packets of gravy mix and ranch dressing mix evenly over chicken. Place sliced butter and whole pepperoncini's over on top of chicken. Pour in pepperoncini juice. Add cream of chicken soup. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and stir well. Cover instant pot and set vent to the sealed position. Select a cook time of 10 minutes at high pressure. After the cook time is complete, allow a 15-minute natural release of pressure, followed by a quick release of any remaining pressure. While chicken is cooking in pressure cooker. Cook uncooked egg noodles according to package direction on stove. Take chicken out of crockpot and place on a plate or cutting board and shred with 2 forks. Place shredded chicken back in crockpot. Add cooked noodles stir well. You can serve immediately. I prefer to let it sit for a few minutes, the sauce will thicken a bit as it cools.
