Instant Pot Tomato Basil Pasta With Chicken Recipes

INSTANT POT LOW FODMAP TOMATO-BASIL PASTA WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Press the "Saute" setting on a 6-quart Instant Pot. Once hot, add the oil and leek leaves. Saute the leek leaves until bright green, fragrant, and soft, about 1-2 minutes.
• Add the cubed chicken. Stir frequently until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. To help prevent a "Burn" message while pressure cooking, add a splash of the measured water (about ¼ cup) to the Instant Pot and scrape up any stuck-on chicken bits. Cancel the "Saute" setting.
• Add the (remaining) water, pasta sauce, vegetable soup base, and brown rice pasta to the chicken. Stir to mix.
• Secure the Instant Pot lid and switch the vent to "Sealing". Select the "Manual" setting on the Instant Pot. Adjust the time to 6 minutes on "High Pressure" and cook. It takes my Instant Pot about 13 minutes to come to pressure before cooking. Once the timer goes off, "Quick Release" the remaining pressure by carefully switching the vent to "Venting" and waiting until the pressure pin drops. Once the pin drops, remove the lid.
• If your Instant Pot doesn't automatically switch to the "Keep Warm" setting (most do), select this function for 30 minutes. Stir the cooked pasta and chicken. Add the cheese and stir again. At first, the sauce will look liquidy. The liquid was needed to cook the pasta but will continue to evaporate over time, resulting in a thicker sauce. To achieve this, continue heating the pasta and chicken on the "Keep Warm" setting for at least 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking. I usually wait 20 minutes before serving.
• Serve warm topped with optional thinly sliced fresh basil leaves.

INSTANT POT TOMATO BASIL PASTA WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Turn Instant Pot onto saute and add butter. Wait for butter to melt and add garlic. Cook until fragrant (about 1 minute or so). Add chicken, salt, pepper, and continue to cook until the chicken turns white one the outside.
• When chicken has a white exterior, add wine, lemon juice, and basil. Let cook for another minute or two.
• Turn Instant Pot off and add your spaghetti noodles and both/stock. When adding the noodles, try to layer them! This will help prevent clumping. You may notice your noodles are not all the way in the broth and that's OK. You can push them down a little bit with a spatula or spoon but do NOT mix them.
• Close Instant Pot and cook on manual high pressure for 4 minutes.
• When timer is up, turn Instant Pot off and preform a quick release of pressure.
• Turn Instant Pot back onto saute and add tomatoes and cream. Continue to cook while stirring consistently until cream mixture is boiling.
• When mixture is boiling turn Instant Pot off and allow to sit for around 5 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken up.

INSTANT POT CREAMY TOMATO CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the 4 seasonings for chicken. Add chicken breasts to seasoning and toss until all chicken is coated.
• Turn on the Instant Pot to SAUTE.
• Once the pot is hot enough, add 1 teaspoon butter and oil.
• Place the seasoned chicken in the Instant Pot and let it brown for 2 minutes. Flip the chicken and let it brown for another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken and keep aside.
• Add rest of the butter to the pot, followed by chopped onion and garlic. Saute onion and garlic for about 1-2 minutes, until it has softened and not smelling raw anymore.
• De-glaze the pan with vinegar. Scrape the bottom of the pot well to release any stuck brown bits (and to prevent getting the BURN notification).
• Add tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper to the pot. Stir well.
• Place the browned chicken in a single layer in the Instant Pot. Cover the pot with the lid. Cancel SAUTE mode and switch to MANUAL mode. Cook on high (full pressure) for 5 mins.
• Let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE for 10 minutes. Then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
• Switch back to SAUTE mode. Stir in the cream and mix everything well to coat the chicken with the sauce.
• Once the sauce looks creamy and chicken is coated well, turn off the pot.
• Serve the chicken topped with the creamy tomato sauce. Serve over your favorite pasta.
