INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Boneless, Skinless
  • 5 slices Uncooked Bacon crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoon Ranch Dressing Mix
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 lb Penne Pasta uncooked
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese 1 block
  • 3 cups Water
  • ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
  • chopped Cilantro for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Put the instant pot to saute mode. Heat some olive oil in the pot. As the oil shimmers, add the Chicken and Bacon. Saute until they brown.
  • Take the Chicken and bacon out. Shred the Chicken using two forks. Keep it aside.
  • In the same pan, pour water, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, hot sauce, ranch dressing mix, salt & pepper. Whisk until combined.
  • Add the uncooked Pasta and Chicken to this sauce. Toss to combine. Cover the lid and cook on high pressure for 4-minutes. Allow the steam to release naturally for 5 minutes. After that, do a quick pressure release.
  • Add some more shredded Mozzarella Cheese on top and cover until the cheese melts.
  • Finally, open the lid. Garnish with chopped Cilantro and the Bacon bits. Serve immediately.
