*LAZY MEAL* Instapot Creamy Italian Chicken Pasta
INSTAPOT RECIPE -
A quick and easy meal the entire family will love. (yes, even the picky kiddos will love it too!) This recipe usually takes only about 15 minutes total from start to finish. Quick, and delicious!😋
Ingredients you’ll need:
* 3 or 4 raw boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into cubes)
* 4 tbsp butter (very soft/room temperature)
* 1 block (8oz) of cream cheese (very soft/room temperature)
* 1 can “Cream of Chicken” soup (I use the brand Pacifico)
* 2-3 tbsp Italian seasoning
* 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
* 8oz-12oz pasta noodles *uncooked* (I use Fusilli, but you can use whatever kind you’d like)
Instructions:
1.) In a large bowl, mix your cubed raw chicken with your softened butter, cream cheese, and the can of cream of chicken soup.
2.) Add your Italian seasoning to the chicken mixture and mix well, until evenly coated.
3.) Once combined, transfer to your instapot/pressure cooker.
4.) Once it is all in your instapot/pressure cooker, add noodles ON TOP of the chicken mixture. *DO NOT MIX!*
5.) Pour your chicken broth on top of the noodles and chicken. Again, DO NOT MIX!! (Chicken broth should just barely cover the top of the noodles. If you need to, you can add a little bit of water if there is too much exposed noodle.)
6.) Close the lid and cook on high pressure for about 8-9 minutes, with your pressure valve sealed.
7.) When your pressure cooker is finished cooking, release the pressure and wait until you hear the “click” indicating that all of the pressure has been released.
8.) The sauce will look very “liquidy” at first, but don’t worry, it will thicken as it begins to cool down.
9.) Add some parsley on top if you’d like, and enjoy!

Instapot cooking is a fantastic way to whip up tasty meals quickly, and this creamy pasta dish is no exception. Not only does it save time, but it also minimizes cleanup with just one pot to wash. By using simple ingredients like chicken breasts, cream cheese, and your favorite pasta, you can create a delightful dish that will please even the pickiest of eaters. The use of Italian seasoning enhances the flavors, providing an aromatic experience that transports you straight to Italy with every bite. The key to achieving a perfect consistency in the sauce is allowing it to thicken after cooking, so don’t rush to mix it right after pressure release. Remember to consider the type of pasta used; Fusilli works well, but feel free to experiment with others like penne or rotini. Besides being delicious, this recipe is great for meal prepping. You can make a larger batch and portion it out for lunches throughout the week. Pair it with a refreshing salad or some garlic bread to round out the meal. Enjoy the ease and comfort of family-friendly meals made possible with your Instapot!
