I needed a dish that would serve as a pasta with chicken and cheese for my daughter in college. I whipped this up and everyone loved it. I packaged several vacuum seal bags and put in freezer for the college dorm room tiny freezer. It was a hit.

  • Step 1
    put chicken breast, celery stalks, and chicken broth in instant pot and cook 25 minutes on high. Use hand mixer to shred chicken after cooked.

    put butter and onion in pan and saute. Add flour, stir and cook. Add heavy whipping cream and milk as needed to make sauce. Add Velveeta and cheddar.
