Chicken Spaghetti in the Instant Pot

So... it was a weeknight that I knew I wanted to make chicken spaghetti but I didn't want to have to babysit it on the stove or have to wait for water to boil.  That's one of the things I so love about the instant pot!  You get it going and walk away.

Let's Get Crafty!
Saute setting for a few minutes:
1 onion, diced
2 teaspoons olive oil

Add and then saute another minute:
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Turn off saute and add in the other ingredients:
2 uncooked chicken breasts, diced
1 can low sodium chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 small jar pimentos
5 mushrooms, sliced
1/3 of a 1 lb box of spaghetti, broken in half

Set to the manual setting for 5 minutes.  Make sure the vent is set to sealing and walk away.

Then release the pressure and turn back to saute to simmer until the spaghetti is cooked.

This picture is right after opening the lid.  The chicken was cooked great and still tender (I did a smaller dice to make sure it would be cooked through.)  Ours just needed a couple more minutes of simmering for the spaghetti to be done.

Add in while on the saute setting once the spaghetti is done cooking:
(next time I think I'll drain off a little of extra liquid first)
12 oz velvetta

The kids ate around the mushrooms, but all in all, this was a tasty dinner that was on the table quickly with little fuss in the kitchen.  Hope you had a great day!
