Instant Pot Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta

February 24, 2021 by Kristin Leave a Comment

This Instant Pot Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta is packed with flavor and comes together in no time! Using only the Instant Pot, clean up is a breeze!

One of the most popular recipes on my blog, is my Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole! Several years back, when I first posted it, I wasn’t sure what you all would think since thats combining quite a few items into one dish. However, within a few weeks, all the feedback was great and I loved hearing how much you all enjoyed it.

Now that I have a love for my Instant Pot, I decided to try making my favorite casserole into an Instant Pot version!

My first trial was terrible. The noodles stuck together, the flavors didn’t combine well, and honestly, it was a tough meal to get through. However, my next attempt went great and with only a few tweaks, this Instant Pot Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta was a hit!

My entire family cleared their plates and we even enjoyed leftovers for lunch the next day!

The chicken is perfectly tender, the pasta is cooked to al dente, and the bacon throughout really enhances the flavor! If you’re not a ranch fan, still give this a try as it doesn’t have a strong Ranch flavoring throughout!

I added in some spinach to include some greens, however, the option is completely up to you! You can even add in some broccoli, just be sure to cook it first!

Lots of options to change this dish up to make it your own! Have fun with it and let me know what you think! If you’re on Instagram, I’d love to connect! Click HERE!!
