Equipment

  • instant pot

Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups water divided
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp garlic
  • 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken thighs 1-inch thickness diced
  • 1 lb spaghetti 16 oz whole-wheat
  • 8 oz Baby bella mushrooms
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 tbs White Wine vinegar
  • 2 cups peas frozen

Instructions
 

  • Prep. Gather the ingredients. Wash and slice the mushrooms. Dice the chicken, trim the fat.
  • Cook. In the instant pot, add one cup of water, salt, garlic, diced chicken. Break spaghetti in half and layer in a criss-cross pattern taking small amounts of pasta at the time. This will help to avoid sticky spaghetti.
  • Add diced mushrooms, add four cups of water. Slightly press pasta with a spatula, don’t stir. Cover the pot, seal the lid, set the setting to high pressure for 3 minutes. Once the timer is up and you hear the beeping sound do a quick release.
  • Serve. Once the air is released, open the pot, add chunks of cream cheese, add white wine vinegar, stir well to combine. Add peas, give stir one more time. Taste, adjust the seasonings if needed, and serve.

Notes

I used a 10 quart Instant Pot.
To make this dish gluten-free use gluten-free spaghetti. 
To avoid the burn notice on the instant pot, make sure to add water to the pot first.
The best way to keep the chicken bites moist is to slice them into bigger pieces and avoid over-cooking them. 
Perfect spaghetti trick. Break the spaghetti in half and start layering in a criss-cross pattern. That way your pasta will be evenly cooked and can all fit in the pan. 
Do not overcook the dish to keep the pasta al dente and the chicken moist. 
To have fewer dirty dishes, use chicken shears to slice chicken directly in the instant pot.
Quickly move your hand out of the way of the pressure release valve since the air released will be extremely hot. You can also wear gloves when releasing the valve instead. 
Adjust the flavor based on your taste buds, add more white vinegar or salt if needed.
