Instant Pot Chicken Parm Pasta
All the
delicious parmesan chicken flavors, combined in an easy pasta dish in 30
minutes! Fewer dishes, but a meal with maximum flavor!
Ingredients
- 3 cups jar pasta sauce
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 cup water
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite size pieces.
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz penne noodles
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
First, add
water to your instant pot liner.
Then, add
the chicken, onion and garlic.
Add the
noodles to the chicken.
Add the
sauce to the noodles. You want to do this so that the sauce is away from the
bottom surface to avoid scalding.
DO NOT MIX,
but you want all the noodles to be coated with sauce. Gently push the noodles
down so that there are no dry noodles sticking out.
Attach the
cover and adjust to the seal.
Set the
instant pot for 4 minutes.
When the
time has elapsed, relieve the pressure carefully and quickly.
Remove the
cover. It will look soup until you mix it and it cools down a bit.
Add the
parmesan and stir.
Add the
mozzarella and put the lid back on for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese. Or, you
can just stir it properly. Your choice.
Add salt and
pepper to your preferences.
Serve
immediately or in portions in meal preparation containers and store in the
refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Happy
Cooking Time.
