Instant Pot Creamy Pasta With Chicken Thighs And Mushrooms Recipes

INSTANT POT CREAMY RANCH CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and sprinkle all over with 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix.
• Add the penne to the 6-quart Instant Pot® and add 4 cups water to the pot. Place the chicken thighs on top of the penne. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 8 minutes (see Cook's Note). After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick- release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, Cheddar and remaining seasoning mix (about 2 tablespoons) in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Roughly chop the chicken into small pieces while it is still warm. Add the chicken to the cream-cheese mixture and stir to combine. Add the chicken and cheese mixture to the pasta and stir until the cheese mixture melts and the pasta is well coated.

CREAMY ONE-POT PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. When hot, add shallot, garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms soften and begin to brown on edges, about 10 minutes. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is glossy and coated with oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a little salt and pepper, then wine. Stir and let liquid bubble away.
• Ladle stock into skillet 1/2 cup or so at a time, stirring after each addition and every minute or so. When liquid is just about evaporated, add more. Mixture should be neither soupy nor dry. Keep heat at medium and stir frequently.
• Begin tasting pasta 10 minutes after you add it; you want it to be tender but with a tiny bit of crunch. When pasta is about 3 to 4 minutes away from being done, add chicken and stir to combine. Continue to cook until chicken is done - it will be white on inside when cut - and pasta is how you like it. Taste, adjust seasoning, garnish with parsley and Parmesan if using, and serve.

INSTANT POT® CREAMY PASTA WITH CHICKEN THIGHS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Select the Sauté function on a multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot®). Melt the butter in the pot. Add the chicken, mushrooms, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pot and sauté until the chicken is just starting to brown and the mushrooms are starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Push Cancel to end Sauté function, and remove the chicken and mushrooms with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the chicken stock, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the pot and stir with a wooden or plastic spoon, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Add linguine to the pot, making sure the noodles are all submerged in the liquid, but do not stir.
• Return the chicken and mushrooms to the pot, placing on top of the noodles without stirring. Place the cream cheese cubes over the top of the chicken, and do not stir. Close and lock the lid, making sure the pressure/steam release switch is set to Sealing.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 6 minutes for al dente noodles, adding 1 minute if you want softer noodles. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Add Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and parsley to the pot, stirring until the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese have completely blended into the pasta sauce and any noodles that were stuck together have broken up. Let the pasta sit in the pot, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, 3 to 5 minutes, before serving.

INSTANT POT® CREAMY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE PASTA

Steps:

• Turn on an 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), add oil, and select Saute function. Add onions and mushrooms to the hot oil; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until onions are turning clear and mushrooms begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a bowl and reserve.
• Pour chicken broth into the pot and add Italian seasoning. Break spaghetti noodles in half and add to the pot in 2 layers, with the second layer in a crisscross direction to the first layer.
• Season chicken tenderloins with salt and pepper. Lay on top of the spaghetti. Spoon cooked vegetables over top. Cancel Saute function.
• Close and lock the lid and seal the vent. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 6 minutes, then use the quick-release method to release any remaining pressure. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Add cream cheese, spinach, and nutmeg; stir to distribute ingredients.
• Replace the lid and allow the residual heat of the pot to melt the cheese and lightly steam the spinach, about 10 minutes. Give the spaghetti and sauce a final stir, then serve with Parmesan cheese.
