Ingredients

2	tablespoons butter
1 ¹⁄₂	pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut in bite-sized pieces
¹⁄₂	medium onion, finely chopped
3 ¹⁄₂	cups chicken stock
1	((16 ounce)) package penne pasta
¹⁄₂	teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄	teaspoon garlic powder
1	((8 ounce)) package cream cheese, cubed
¹⁄₃	cup Buffalo wing sauce
1	cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2	tablespoons crumbled blue cheese, or to taste

Instructions

1.	Commence by activating a multi-functional pressure cooker, such as the esteemed Instant Pot®. Melt salted butter within and opt for the Saute function. Introduce the chicken and finely chopped onion, sauteing until the chicken achieves a glorious golden brown hue, approximately 5 minutes. Deactivate the Saute function. Gently extract the chicken-onion medley with a slotted spoon and reserve it for later.
2.	Infuse the pot with the savory essence of chicken stock. Skillfully deglaze the pot's bottom using a wooden or plastic spoon, ensuring no flavor is left behind. Incorporate the penne, salt, and garlic powder with finesse. Strategically layer the cream cheese cubes, the reserved chicken-onion combination, and the bold Buffalo sauce atop the pasta, refraining from stirring.
3.	Seal and secure the lid, initiating high pressure based on the manufacturer's specifications; set the timer for 5 minutes. Allow a gentle 12-minute grace period for the pressure to build and intensify.
4.	With utmost care, release the pressure swiftly using the method recommended by the manufacturer, approximately 5 minutes. Unlock the pot and unveil its contents with a sense of anticipation.
5.	Embark on the final culinary phase by introducing the delectable mozzarella cheese to the mix. Stir diligently until the cream cheese and mozzarella amalgamate seamlessly into a sumptuous sauce. Allow the pasta to rest within the pot, encouraging the sauce to thicken, an approximate duration of 3 minutes.
6.	Elevate each serving with a generous sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese, delivering a harmonious finish to this culinary masterpiece.
