Recipe type: Instant Pot/Chicken/Pasta/Dinner
Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2-3 chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3-5 garlic cloves, crushed
  • ⅔ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 lb pasta of choice (If using spaghetti noodles, break them into small pieces.)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese, cut into small squares so it melts more easily
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté and sauté the chicken, onions, and garlic in the 3 tbsp of butter. Sauté until chicken is no longer pink.
  2. Next, add the sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, pasta, and chicken broth. Stir gently and make sure the pasta is covered with the broth as best as possible.
  3. Put the lid on and set the pressure to high for 4 minutes.
  4. Once the Instant Pot is finished cooking, put a hand towel over the valve and release it. (This catches the moisture out of the valve).
  5. Next, stir in the cream cheese, and then add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well-combined. You can add a little milk if needed to thin out the sauce.
  6. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  7. Enjoy!
