Now that I’m an adult, I am finally realizing why my Mom loved cooking meals that you could pretty much just dump and start! The instant pot is the PERFECT kitchen appliance for dump and start meals! This creamy italian chicken pasta is made up of cream cheese, Italian dressing mix, and cream of chicken soup. It’s so yummy — and best of all, it’s all made at the same time and in the same pot!
