Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta puts a delicious Mexican spin on traditional Chicken Cordon Bleu and turns it into chicken casserole.

While we love traditional recipes, sometimes we like to tweak them to add bolder flavors since we enjoy a little more spice in our food. This Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta recipe is one of those recipes!

I love Chicken Casseroles and Chicken Cordon Bleu. So I decided to combine the two. The result turned out to be one of my favorite Chicken Casseroles and one of the most delicious Instant Pot Recipes and one pot meals.

What Makes This Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe Work?

  • First, it adds a touch of smoky chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, Ro*Tel tomatoes, and Monterey Jack cheese for an awesome Mexican flavor.
  • Second, it is made in the Instant Pot instead of in the oven, which makes it moist, juicy, and creamy and cheesy using a quick, and easy method.
  • Third, I turned it into a casserole by cooking it with mini bow tie (farfalle) pasta and creating a creamy cheesy chipotle sauce!
  • Lastly, it is quick and easy to make in the Instant Pot pressure cooker.

  • Cutting Board from Amazon.com – You can choose from all different materials and shapes and sizes for what works best for you.
  • Measuring Cups from Amazon.com – Be sure to use the measuring cups designed for liquids for liquids only and not for dry ingredients for the most accurate measurement.
  • Measuring Spoons – from Amazon.com – I keep several sets of measuring spoons on hand so I have them when I need them and they are not in the dishwasher.

How To Make Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

  • After the Instant Pot has finished pressure cooking and you have done a quick release, carefully remove the lid of the Instant Pot. (It should like like the first photo below.)
  • Pour in the heavy cream.
  • Add the shredded Swiss and Monterey Jack cheeses and stir.
  •  Top with crushed seasoned croutons. Enjoy!
  • (NOTE: If you would like it creamier, you can add 2 to 4 ounces of cream cheese, cut into cubes to make it thicker and creamier. I didn’t added because it was already creamy enough for me.)

Can I Use Rotisserie Chicken In This Recipe?

  • Yes! Cubed or shredded Rotisserie Chicken will work well in this recipe.

Can I Add Vegetables?

  • Absolutely! Feel free to add green beans, broccoli, or peas and carrots to the casserole after pressure cooking. The residual heat should heat the vegetables, or you can use the SAUTE setting for a few minutes to help cook the vegetables.

  • Vegetables, such as Creole Green Beans, Roasted Asparagus, or Broccoli Salad.

Instructions 

  • Make the seasoning mix by adding all ingredients under seasoning mix into a small bowl and stir.
  • Add the ingredients, in this order, into the inner liner pot of the Instant Pot pressure cooker: Chicken Broth, Chicken breast, Ham, Seasoning mix, Pasta, Diced Tomatoes and Chilies, Chipotle Pepper, adobo sauce, and Mini Bow Tie Pasta.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and move the pressure release valve to the SEALING position. Press the PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL button (depending on model) and select High Pressure. Then press the +/- buttons to adjust the time to 10 minutes. (NOTE: It will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes to come up to pressure. The time varies depending on the model and recipe.)
  • After the Instant Pot has finished pressure cooking, let it release pressure naturally for 10 minutes (this means you do nothing and do NOT touch the Instant Pot during this time.)
  • After 10 minutes, then do a quick release by moving the valve to the VENTING position to release any remaining pressure.
  • After the Instant Pot has finished pressure cooking and you have done a quick release, carefully remove the lid of the Instant Pot. Pour in the heavy cream. Add the shredded Swiss and Monterey Jack cheeses and stir. Top with crushed seasoned croutons. Enjoy!(NOTE: If you would like it creamier, you can add 2 to 4 ounces of cream cheese, cut into cubes to make it thicker and creamier. I didn't added because it was already creamy enough for me.)
