Instant Pot Nacho Pot Pie—a mashup of nachos and chicken pot pie create a new and fun meal! Perfect to make with rotisserie chicken or cooked and shredded chicken you have on hand in the freezer.
Instant Pot Nacho Pot Pie
If you want to add some different flavors into traditional chicken pot pie this is a fun way to do it! Nacho pot pie adds in black beans, taco seasoning and corn. Then instead of a traditional pie crust topping you’ll have a “crust” of crushed up tortilla chips and cheese. Digging in through the layer of chips and cheese is so satisfying!
Can I use uncooked chicken? I haven’t tried this myself but I think it would work well. Just add 1 ½ pounds uncooked chicken breasts into the pot in place of rotisserie chicken. Reduce liquid from 3 cups to 2 cups. Then pressure cook for 12 minutes with a 10 minute natural pressure release. After it’s through cooking you can shred it up.
Can I use another type of beans? We like black beans but pinto beans or white beans would be tasty as well.
What kind of toppings should I use?
- My favorite are the Mezzetta Deli-Sliced Tamed Jalapeno Peppers that you can find by the pickles. They give a little burst of flavor but aren’t super spicy
- Sour cream or plain yogurt
- Extra cheese (any kind!)
- Sliced olives
- Diced tomatoes
- Pico de gallo or salsa
- Diced green onions
- Guacamole or avocado
- Shredded lettuce
- Red onions
- Lime
- Cilantro

Instant Pot Instructions:

Stir and let cook until thickened for about 3-4 minutes. Turn off Instant Pot.
- Sprinkle crushed chips on top and then sprinkle on the cheese. Use your air fryer lid to melt the cheese (about 1-2 minutes on 400° F).
- Scoop onto plates and serve. You can top with desired toppings such as diced green onions, jalapenos, more cheese, etc.
