If you need dinner in a hurry, this Instant Pot Cream Cheese Chicken and Pasta is the recipe for you!
One of my favorite things about the Instant Pot is that if I have a little time before dinner and need something quick, I just throw things in my Instant Pot and it cooks SO FAST. This instant pot recipe is one of my favorites to cook for the whole family. On the rare occasions where we don’t finish this instant pot crack chicken pasta, we save the meal for the next day. It is easy to store in an airtight container and then throw it in your fridge. A pro tip for the next time you make this is to give the cooked pasta a good stir and then add cheese to the top of the pasta. Just make sure that the extra cheese doesn’t burn on the bottom of the pot.
This cream cheese chicken recipe is honestly a FAVORITE of mine. I make it normally every other week. It is definitely part of my rotation of recipes that my kids love to eat. The best part about this delicious meal is that it is comfort food and it is easy to throw together on busy weeknights. The instant pot creamy chicken pasta combines tender chicken and my favorite pasta dish into the best pot meal that will keep you wanting more! A lot of people have asked me for this easy pasta recipe and I am excited to share it.
I like to serve this easy dinner with garlic bread with lots of cheese on top and a little spice. If you’re looking for a healthy option you can serve it with a side salad (maybe add some crispy bacon to the top!).
If you want to know what a few more of my favorites are I would definitely suggest that you try out our Chicken Enchilada Casserole, One Pan Salsa Verde Chicken (who doesn’t love fewer dishes), and to kick it up a notch, Spicy Honey-Glazed Chicken is a must make.
