My kids love spaghetti but I needed a little change. This Instant Pot white chicken spaghetti recipe is perfect for something a bit different. You will love the cheesy goodness this easy pressure cooker recipe brings to the table.

Instant Pot White Chicken Spaghetti

I have a confession to make, I am not the biggest fan of tomato sauce. I mean, when it is good I enjoy eating it, but for the most part, I prefer white sauces. My family and I have been loving our pressure cooker and have been making some wonderful Kid-Friendly Instant Pot Recipes but I was ready for a little bit of a change with our regular spaghetti recipe. It was time to create an Instant Pot White Chicken Spaghetti meal that we would all love.

White Chicken Spaghetti

White chicken spaghetti has been a favorite pasta dish of mine ever since I was a little girl. I grew up eating mushrooms and cream sauce, so I thought they would be perfect for an easy chicken spaghetti, and I was right!

The great thing about this recipe is that you can adapt it very easy to fit your family’s tastes. If your kiddos aren’t a fan of mushrooms, throw in some peas or broccoli!  If you have leftover rotisserie chicken in the fridge, use that instead of cubed chicken breast. I am all about making recipes tasty and easy for us busy parents like this amazing Instant Pot Crack Chicken recipe.

This white chicken spaghetti is going to be a family classic in no time. In fact, my kids have asked for it more times than my personal favorite Instant Pot Cashew Chicken! Another pasta favorite is our family-friendly Instant Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni recipe, so be sure to check that one out!

 

Pressure Cooking

I’ve been using my pressure cooker for a few years now and can’t imagine what it would be like to not have it.  Pressure Cooking isn’t as intimidating as it once may have been. To learn more about the benefits of pressure cooking check out our Pressure Cooker Guide.

    Can this recipe be doubled? If so does the cook time stay the same? Thank you!

      Yes, but it won’t be as rich or thick. You could thicken it with a cornstarch slurry.
