Ingredients

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 can cream of chicken soup

8 ounces cream cheese (break into small pieces)

1 package Italian dressing dry mix

Set on poultry or meat setting or manually set for 15 minutes.

Naturally release pressure for 5 minutes then quick release remaining pressure.

While your Instant Pot is cooking, boil water in a pot on your stove and cook your pasta according to the directions on the package.

Shred the chicken and serve over the pasta.

If your chicken is frozen, add 5 to 10 minutes until your chicken is cooked through.

Notes

I would make next time with less chicken broth and more cream cheese. Maybe instead of more cream cheese some half and half with corn starch to thicken the sauce a little bit, if I did that I would leave the chicken broth amount the same: I would also add in blanched broccoli to make it less chicken forward. That would be so much yummier with broccoli!
