Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups chicken broth

  1. Add chicken broth into Instant Pot. Sprinkle in the pasta. Add potatoes on top of the pasta. Sprinkle with ranch dressing mix.

  3. Stir well. Pour the mixture into a medium/large bowl with a lid. Refrigerate until cool.
  4. Stir in the chicken, tomatoes, spinach and salad dressing.
