Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound medium pasta shells or elbow macaroni
- 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth or water)
- 10.5 ounces condensed cheddar cheese soup
- 3 cups cheddar cheese shredded (see note)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons milk as needed
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting and add butter. Once butter is melted, add chicken and cook for about 3 minutes, just until it’s starting to turn color.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir to coat chicken.
- Add chicken broth and pasta to the pot. Stir to combine pasta and chicken.
- Place the lid on Instant Pot, turn the valve to sealing, and set to high pressure (manual) for 4 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is done, carefully turn valve to quick release the pressure. After the pin has dropped, remove the lid.
- Add the cheddar cheese soup and stir into pasta. Add shredded cheddar cheese, one cup at a time, stirring between each addition until melted and smooth.
- Add peas and stir to incorparte them into the pasta.
- If the cheese has become too thick, add 2-3 tablespons of milk as needed until it is your desired creaminess.
- Scoop into bowl and serve warm.
Notes
- Don't buy pre-shredded cheese for this recipe. Your sauce will be much creamier if you buy a block of cheese and grate it yourself.
