Instant Pot Chicken Spaghetti

March 20, 2020 by Kristin Leave a Comment

All the flavors of the classic dish made even easier using the Instant Pot. Creamy, cheesy, and a family favorite, this Instant Pot Chicken Spaghetti will be a hit with everyone!

A few nights ago, I decided to make this Instant Pot Chicken Spaghetti for dinner. I have a few favorite baked versions on the blog, but decided to try the Instant Pot route.

Honestly, I didn’t have high hopes for it because it was the first time I was playing around with the ingredients/combination, and it can be hit or miss until tweaked just right. Never did I expect trial one to be as much of a hit as it was!

Packed with flavor, I took a quick picture and posted it to my Instagram story (come follow me HERE). I posted a coming soon title on the picture and moved on. By morning, I had over 100 requests asking for the recipe! So, here it is!!

Hope you all love it just as much as my family. In fact, we had enough leftovers for lunch yesterday and even reheated, it was just as tasty!

Packed with flavor, tender chicken, red peppers, and perfectly cooked pasta (don’t worry, not mushy like Instant Pot can tend to do)….this Instant Pot Chicken Spaghetti is a hit!

Enjoy and be sure to let me know what you think once you try it! I have a feeling I will be making this dish quite frequently!

Here are a few items I used to make this dish:
