Instant Pot(R) Slow Cooker Chicken Chili Mac Recipe

I received an Instant Pot (affiliate)(R) recently to replace a few of my electronic appliances like my rice cooker, yogurt maker, and my smaller slow cooker (affiliate) saving lots of space in my kitchen cabinets. I'm going to show you how to make a Slow Cooker (affiliate) Chicken Chili Mac Recipe. Follow along and see how yummy it is.

This post is my first recipe I am sharing cooked in the Instant Pot (affiliate). I enjoy dishes that mix pasta with a sauce and this is another one of those recipes. What I like about this recipe is that I can saute the chicken thighs right in the Instant Pot (affiliate)(R) and I don't have to dirty yet another pan. Yes!
