What Instant Pot/Slow Cooker Did You Use?
For this Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Spaghetti recipe I used this Instant Pot IP-LUX60 V3 Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker. It’s 6 quarts, so the same size as most slow cookers. It cost me around $80 on Amazon. When I made a similar recipe in the slow cooker I used this 6 quart KitchenAid Slow Cooker.
Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Spaghetti
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 18 minutes
- Total Time: 33 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, thawed
- 2 cups spaghetti sauce
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or cream cheese or sour cream
- 8 oz spaghetti
Instructions
- Place chicken, spaghetti sauce and bbq sauce in the Instant Pot. Cover and turn the valve to “sealing.” Set the timer to 13 minutes on manual.

- When the timer beeps let the chicken sit for 5 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure slowly.

Hi, would it be possible to cook the pasta in with the chicken and sauce at all? I have an all in one spaghetti bolognese recipe that works really well and wondered if this would work with this one please? Thank you, Tamsie
Can i use wheat spaghetti for the same ?
yep!
Is there a way to adapt this for the slow cooker or stove? It sounds delicious but I don’t have an instant pot.
Sharon, you could totally make this in the slow cooker. Just add the chicken, bbq sauce and spaghetti sauce to your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Then take the chicken out and shred. Add in the dairy and stir and add the chicken back in. Then make the spaghetti on your stovetop and drain it and add it into the slow cooker.
