To make this dill pickle chicken pasta, I started by chopping some boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite sized pieces.
Then I set my Instant Pot to Saute Less for seven minutes.
I added a dab of margarine to the Instant Pot and then added the chunks of chicken.
I left the chicken to cook, stirring occasionally.
When the Instant Pot turned off the chicken was still slightly pink.
I added some water, condensed chicken broth and dill pickle juice to the pot.
Then I added some cavatappi noodles and spread them out evenly.
I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 3 minutes.
When the Instant Pot was finished cooking, I immediately turned the steam release handle to the venting position and did a quick release.
I removed the lid and stirred the contents well.
Then I added some heavy cream, butter and ranch dressing to the pot.
I stirred until the butter was melted.
Then I added some diced dill pickles, crumbled bacon, salt and pepper to the pot.
I stirred again and then added some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese to the pot.
I stirred until the cheese was melted and then the pasta was ready to serve.
This chicken pasta is creamy, cheesy and packed with flavour.
