A comforting and flavorful pasta bake made with creamy sauce, chicken, and sundried tomatoes, all cooked in a pressure cooker for a quick and easy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds Diced chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 10 oz Penne pasta (uncooked)
  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 2 ½ cups Chicken broth
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 2 jars (8-ounce each) Sundried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup Shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté the chicken: In your pressure cooker, set it to sauté mode. Add a splash of olive oil, and once heated, toss in the diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper, cooking until lightly browned—for about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Combine ingredients: Next, stir in the penne pasta, heavy cream, chicken broth, spinach, sundried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and a dash more salt and pepper. Get everything well combined, ensuring the pasta is well coated in that creamy goodness.
  3. Pressure cook: Secure the lid on your pressure cooker and set it to cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. After the timer goes off, please allow for a natural release for about 5 minutes before performing a quick release to let out any remaining steam.
  4. Cheese it up: Once the lid is off and the pasta is perfectly cooked, sprinkle in the parmesan and mozzarella cheeses right atop the pasta. Gently fold them in until they melt and create that luscious, creamy sauce we all crave.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Give it a final stir, and get ready to serve! Ladle the Tuscan Chicken Pasta Bake into bowls, and watch as smiles light up around the table.

Notes

For added texture, throw in some toasted breadcrumbs on top before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
