Instructions
  1. Place chicken in a medium bowl and coat with 2 tbsp Buffalo sauce.
  2. Pour 1 cup water in the Instant Pot. Add coated chicken in one even layer.
  3. Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- buttons and program the Instant Pot for 10 minutes.

  5. Carefully remove the chicken from the pressure cooker to a cutting board and shred, reserving juices.
  6. In a medium bowl, mix together remaining hot sauce, cream cheese and ranch dressing until smooth, then mix in shredded chicken.
  7. Add remaining 2 cups of water to reserved juices in pot. Add pasta and stir.
  8. Top with chicken mixture in an even layer--do not stir. Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  9. Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- buttons and program the Instant Pot for 4 minutes.
  10. When the time is up, quick-release the remaining pressure and stir until thickened.

  12. Set the pan under the broiler until cheese just begins to brown, 3-5 minutes.
