Step 1

Season the chicken chunks lightly with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Step 2

Turn on the saute function of your IP and let it heat. Once hot, spray the inside of the pan with olive oil or coconut oil cooking spray and brown your chicken. It doesn't have to be all the way cooked through, but most of the way.

Step 3

Turn off the saute function, remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 4

Add the dried pasta and the broth/water to the pot, making sure the pasta is evenly covering the bottom of the pot. Add the chicken on top of everything. Cook on manual (or pressure cook) for 2 minutes, quick release the pressure when finished.

Step 5

Remove the lid and stir in your shredded cheddar until melted (there will be a little bit of liquid left in the pot, before you add the cheese, that's perfect!). Next, stir in the hot sauce and Greek yogurt. Serve with the crumbled blue cheese if ya like!
