Follow The Directions

01

Step

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add butter and onion and saute for about 3 minutes.

02

Step

Pour in diced tomatoes with liquid; mix to combine. Add frozen chicken breasts. Cancel Saute mode.

03

Step

Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

04

Step

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove chicken and cut into bite-sized pieces. Add chicken back into the pot. Scatter noodles on top so they don't clump up.

05

Step

Mix mushroom soup, chicken soup, and milk together in a bowl. Pour over noodles. Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 7 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

06

Step

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in taco seasoning and chicken seasoning salt.

07

Step

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Spray an 8x12-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

08

Step

Transfer 1/2 of the spaghetti mixture to the casserole dish and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Add remaining spaghetti mixture and sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese.

09

Step

Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbling and golden, 3 to 5 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained black beans or corn to the spaghetti mixture before broiling.
If you don't have chicken seasoning salt, you can substitute it with a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend would be delicious alternatives.
