If you love easy Instant Pot dinners, this Instant Pot Creamy Chicken and Noodles with Vegetables is going to be one of your favorites!
After our Instant Pot Cheesy Chicken and Rice recipe went viral, we knew that we needed to make a version of it with pasta.
I LOVE using my Instant Pot and use it 4-5 days a week . . . and that is coming from the sister who swore by her slow cooker!
Our version of this chicken and pasta in the pressure cooker is also adapted from our SUPER POPULAR Chicken and Noodle Casserole.
This recipe comes together in a matter of minutes and will be one that your whole family enjoys!
