Jalapeño Cheddar Chicken (Instant Pot Recipe)

Jalapeño Cheddar Chicken (Instant Pot Recipe) | October 19, 2023

Jalapeño Cheddar Chicken is an extra creamy, spicy 1 pot Instant Pot recipe that takes about 30-40 minutes to have on the table. Chicken tenders, jalapeños, corn, and onions are cooked into a cheesy cheddar cream sauce and then served with veggies or over rice and noodles.

The Instant Pot makes this dinner an easy 1 pot meal that’s perfect for anyone who likes a spicy kick to their dinner. Use less jalapeños for a mild version and add more for a hotter version.

If you have a family who isn’t too keen on a very spicy meal, eliminate the jalapeños to create an Instant Pot creamy chicken dinner that tastes just as amazing.

This recipe has been tested in both a 6 quart and 8 quart Instant Pot. Use either size pot without changing the ingredient quantities.

And while Instant Pot jalapeño cheddar chicken is the perfect size for a family of 4-6, there will be extra cream sauce to reserve for later use.

It’s so creamy and tasty, it’s like a queso dip for tortilla chips or a topping to drizzle on enchiladas!
