pressure cooker, including this delicious and popular Buffalo Chicken Pasta.

How to Make Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Pasta: Step-by-Step Guide

Sauté the base: Begin by sautéing the chicken, celery, and
onions in your Instant Pot until the chicken is fully cooked and the onions are
translucent. Add garlic for an aromatic start.

Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and
hot sauce. Adjust the hot sauce to your preference; you can always add more
later.

Pressure Cook: Add the pasta and ensure it’s submerged in the
liquid. Close the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure.

Finishing Touches: The pasta may appear soupy when you open
the lid, but don’t worry! It will thicken as it rests. Add the cream cheese,
blue cheese dressing, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Partially cover and let
it sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb the liquid. Garnish
with blue cheese crumbles and green onions before serving.

Easy Recipe Variations: Customize Your Buffalo Chicken Pasta

• Not a fan of blue cheese? Substitute an equal amount of your

• Turn it into a casserole: Transfer the Buffalo chicken pasta
  to a lightly greased baking dish (9×13 inch). Top with extra cheese and bake
  at 350°F until golden brown and bubbly.

  regular white pasta instead of whole wheat.
