I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly.

#INSTANT POT MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH CHICKEN MAC#
To make Instant Pot Broccoli Chicken Mac and Cheese I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. Slow Cooker or Instant Pot Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Soup If your family is anything like mine, I think they will love this instant pot broccoli chicken mac and cheese. After the pasta cooked I opened the packet and stirred the broccoli in with everything else so that it could get coated in the cheesy sauce.

I placed the foil packet on top of the pasta and the result was not overcooked and not undercooked broccoli. I ended up making a foil packet filled with broccoli florets. I also knew that I could add in frozen broccoli later ( like I do in this recipe) but I just really wanted to find a way to use fresh broccoli. I didn’t like the idea of steaming it separately on the stove or in the microwave. So I knew that there was no way the broccoli would withstand pressure for more than a minute or two. I’ve read online that when you steam broccoli in the Instant Pot you are supposed to use a zero minute pressure cooking time.

The trick was to figure out was how to cook fresh broccoli in the same pot as the chicken and pasta but not let it get mushy. Chicken Broccoli Casserole is one of my most popular recipes on my website so I knew it was a winning combination. That’s why I decided to add in the chicken and broccoli. It’s delicious, don’t get me wrong, but I like the idea of adding a little more nutrition into it. However, making a big pot of mac and cheese for dinner at home with nothing else in it kind of leaves me feeling blah. I love macaroni and cheese and whenever I see it as a side dish option at a restaurant I always choose it (especially when it has the toasted bread crumb topping nom nom nom).
