How To Make Instant Pot Chicken Spaghetti
Step 1. In a criss-cross pattern, place the spaghetti into the instant pot and top it with water. Put the trivet above the spaghetti. Combine the chicken, olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning into a large mixing bowl until the chicken is evenly coated. Put the chicken on the trivet and put the lid on the instant pot and cook on high pressure for 6 minutes. Let the instant pot release pressure naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release.
Step 2. Take the chicken out and use a brush to coat it with BBQ sauce. Cut the chicken into small chunks and drain the pasta of water. While the pasta is in the strainer, add the tomatoes and let the tomato juice strain.
Spaghetti Sauce
Step 1. In a large pot, add the heavy whipping cream, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/2
tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning and saute on high. Put in 1 cup of cheddar cheese and combine and cook for 3 minutes. Put the rest of the cheese into the mixture and combine. Allow the mixture to boil and mix often. It should thicken after about 5 minutes, continue to mix.
Step 2. Put in the pasta and tomatoes and combine with the sauce. Put in the chicken and mix to coat. Serve and enjoy!
