Instructions

  • Cut 1 pound chicken boneless skinless breast into bite sized pieces.
  • Put the cubed chicken, 3 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ½ cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper into your Instant Pot. Pour in the 4 cups chicken stock and stir to combine.
  • Add the 2 cups penne pasta and push down a bit to make sure all of the pasta and chicken are covered by the chicken stock.
  • Put the cover on the pressure cooker and make sure the valve is in the seal position. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • Quick release the pressure. (Covering the vent with a damp cloth will help catch any starchy splatter.)
  • Add the 5 ounces baby spinach, 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine. Put the lid back on the pot and allow the heat from the pasta to melt the cheese and wilt the spinach.
  • Serve with additional cheese, red pepper flakes and fresh basil if desired.

Notes
