My word for the year is “simplify”. This holiday I am making an effort to calm down my usual hectic schedule and spend quality time with family. Because I love to eat, sitting down for more meals together is how I want to spend my holidays. There’s nothing better than good food and family, right? I’m excited to partner with Borden® Cheese by making one of my all time favorite Cheesy Chicken Tetrazzini recipes in my Instant Pot!
Oh my gosh, you will want this every night for dinner! This cheese filled, creamy melt in your mouth pasta recipe is also perfect for holiday potluck parties.
Pressure cooker meals are so easy and absolutely life changing! It’s been a perfect tool to help me simplify my life. Whether you use an Instant Pot or a slow cooker, they are both great for this Cheesy Chicken Tetrazzini recipe. A simple delicious dinner and more time to spend with your family… that’s a win win!
Part of the Borden® Cheese mission is to help families enjoy wholesome delicious meals as often as they can and especially for the holidays! Every chunk, slice and shred is pure, creamy goodness! Borden® Cheese has a wide variety of cheeses, but I used my favorites, Monterey Jack and Parmesan, in this tasty recipe.
For a quick dinner, eat this Chicken Tetrazzini right out of the Instant Pot. I recommend topping with cheese and baking it for a warm crunchy topping.
To enhance the flavor, I added white wine to my recipe. The alcohol in the wine evaporates while the food is cooking, and only the flavor remains. I love cooking with Sauvignon Blanc because it’s not too sweet, the flavor will range from zesty lime to flowery peach depending on the brand of wine. If you don’t want to add the wine, just substitute it with more broth.
Cheesy Instant Pot Chicken Tetrazzini is such a comfort food for me!

Looks cheesy and delicious!

When I saw this earlier this morning, I just had to try! It looked sooo good! Of course I didn’t have the list of ingredients so I had to compromise. I used the rest of my chicken I had left over from yesterday, I just shredded and skipped the “cook chicken for…” I did add the butter and garlic. I didn’t have your cream so I made a cup of butter milk with milk, vinegar and melted butter. Didn’t have linguini, so I used thin spaghetti and reduced the cooking time ( 2 minutes HP) I also sub’d mozzarella cheese in place of the Monterey jack. Ohh and I crunched up potato chips instead of the bread crumbs ( I make my own, but was in a hurry to get this yummy dish going) This was absolutely amazing!! No problem with burn, or too thin, too dry…. just perfect! The wine gives it the ooh la-la taste! Def making this one again 🙂
Thank you for sharing, hope you don’t mind me sharing all my tweaks.

** Sour cream, not ‘your cream’
Alexandra says
Having seen the earlier posts I let it natural release for about 3 minutes before venting, hoping to avoid soupy-ness, no luck. Even with the extra time the noodles were a little crunchy, so I baked it in the oven for 15 minutes so they could soak up more liquid. Delicious after that!
Watching the video again I had WAY more liquid than you did after cooking the chicken. Should I cut back next time?
Sara says
This was a really good recipe and telling my friends who just got an Instant Pot!
Kelly says
I made this recipe exactly how it says and it burned the entire bottom 🙁 super disappointed need to unpin this
Amy Locurto says
I’m sorry your bottom burned. As you can see from my video, mine did not. Not sure what could have made that happen when you made it. Thanks for trying it!
Robin says
Not sure what I did wrong but mine is all liquid. I’ve looked over and over the recipe and I followed it exactly.
Sarah says
Mine too!

This tasted great and was easy to prepare. The breasts I used were thick. I should have butterflied them or something. Neither was cooked through after the first round of pressure cooking. I wasn’t sure if that mattered much since it all cooked more, but it made it difficult to shred. Neither of us adults thought it tasted like chicken tetrazzini so I think we will try another recipe in the future, but thank you.
Amy Locurto says
Thanks for trying it! I will make a note in the recipe about butterflying chicken when it’s a thick piece. Good idea!
