Instant Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

Who says French food has to be hard to make?

An easy Instant Pot Dinner Recipe

I get a real kick out of cooking French food. It isn’t my absolute favorite cuisine, but it just makes me feel so much like a chef.

My favorite French recipe is chicken Cordon Bleu, a delicious combo of breaded chicken cutlets stuffed with Swiss cheese and ham. I’ve already done two different, delicious takes on this dish: a Lightened-Up Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole and a cute little muffin-tin version called Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites. And now, with the help of my Instant Pot, I’m turning chicken Cordon Bleu into a pasta dish.

This Instant Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta could hardly be easier. Step one, cook the chicken and pasta together in the pot for five minutes. Step two, add in the cheese, ham, Alfredo sauce from a jar, and seasonings, and stir it all up until the cheese melts. And step three…eat!

When you compare this to the original version of chicken Cordon Bleu – which involves pounding chicken cutlets flat, baking them, stuffing, them, breading them, and frying them – it’s almost unbelievably easy. Yet it still has all the flavor of the original, so you can get the thrill of cooking like a real French chef without the work.
