Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta

Great go-to recipe with lots of possibilities for variations. Didn’t have sun dried tomatoes and used drained fire roasted diced and penne pasta. Also used 6 oz cream cheese and it was fine. I sautéed the chicken with Italian seasoning and olive oil in the instant pot first then continued with the recipe.

Very easy and tasty. I pan fried some diced chicken first, just in salt and pepper. Didn't have crusty bread but definitely will next time for all the sauce. Some mushrooms and/or diced pancetta would work well in it.

This is delicious and easy. I may have added a little more or less spinach or chicken but was absolutely forgiving. 💯 will make again

I used half the amount of cream cheese and a little extra milk to make it creamy and it turned out perfect. Very delicious

Quite heavy on the stumach and a bit too salty. Would prefer to add more tomate, spinach and basil and a little less cream cheese. But very tasty :)

Use less parm

My whole family loved it but even more so when I left out the tomatoes!

Added chilli flakes

Add sour cream and voila

Used a can of diced tomatoes instead of sundried, added the whole thing in with the chicken, broth, and noodles.

Turned out really good! I agree the instructions could be a little clearer. Like it doesn't even say when to put the basil in. I added it with the tomatoes. I also found a recipe for instant pot chicken, seasoning it, searing it and pressure cooking for 2 minutes before dicing and starting this recipe. I left the broth and juices from the chicken in and still added the 2 cups of broth to cook the noodles. It was very flavorful. Would recommend to author, just put it all together in the instructions next time.

Wish the instructions were better but it turned out really good

Added mushrooms and plain yogurt great dish!

The Recipe could be a little more specific for 1st time ip users (I'm not, but there's still a lot of different ways to use it and I've only learned a few so far). I cooked my diced chicken in the butter first and I saw somewhere to add a little olive oil and this actually helps move the chicken easier to cook and brown all sides within 6 mins. I also add the garlic for the last couple seconds of cooking the chicken before shutting off the saute and pouring the broth in to scrape the browning off the bottom. I used elbow macaroni since I didn't have the suggested kind of pasta and it holds the cheese and milk well. What I didn't see is when to add the Basil, and that's a little more difficult to judge (for me) whether to add it before or after cooking (pressure function). I'd also like to add one more minute to the 3 mins next time to get the noodles more al dente but other than it's good.

I used dairy free shredded cheese ( didn’t have dairy free Parmesan cheese), dairy free cream cheese, and soy milk and it tasted good.

this was the first recipe I tried with my instant pot, and I think I'm a convert! I used the sauté function to brown my chicken first, then cooked as instructed, and the family loved it! the Natural Release portion of the steps took a bit longer than I'd planned for based on the estimated time listed in the instructions, and I'm finding that I may need to start adding a bit more liquid to these pasta-based recipes (trying stroganoff tonight and having a similar issue with dryness), but this one is easy to adapt and a good starting point for an instant pot newbie! *edit*: I made this again, and added more broth/stock to the original recipe, and it turned out perfectly! I'm finding that an extra cup of liquid seems to fix the dryness in these recipes.

Added salad and made homemade garlic bread

Need to fry chicken not saute...

This was very good! I used chicken thighs, since that's what I had on hand. I cut them in small pieces, seasoned with creole seasoning, and sauted them in the instant pot first. I also used canned tomatoes with onions and garlic instead of sun dried. That's what I had and my family is not big on the sun dried ones. It turned out great!

Much cream, very bussin

We add mushrooms to it sometimes.

Next time I will try less cream cheese, it was to heavy.

It was so easy and so good. I did use more milk to make it creamier. I also cooked it on the stovetop instead of insta pot. My family loved it.

I made this for a Christmas Eve luncheon and it turned out amazing. All in the instant pot, easy peasy for enjoying company...1 pot and boom...done!

Substituted diced italian tomatoes drained for the aun dried as my store was all out

Absolutely amazing! I didn’t put in as many sun dried tomatoes (as I ran out) so will def make again using more. I added some finely diced red onion and lots of black pepper, parsley & grated parmesan to serve.

Added creole and lots of garlic powder and onion powder and paprika. Good concept, not enough flavor

Recipe was good. Just needs to be a little more saucy.

May need more chicken broth. Rodger liked.

Husband liked it, but not kids.

I used cooked shredded chicken to not have to worry about it being cooked through, and 1/3 fat cream cheese instead. It still turned out very flavorful, and a teeeeeeny bit healthier!

Rave reviews from every member of my family

The sun dried tomatoes were a little twangy. Probably will try Italian diced tomatoes next time, but it was a good dish, especially if you like Alfredo.

I cut chicken up before cooking.

The only thing I would do differently is to saute some onion and garlic and add that with the chicken and pasta in the beginning. (I also threw a little provolone in because I didn't have enough parmesan left)
