CREAMY ITALIAN CHICKEN AND PENNE

Quick and satisfying Cream Chicken and Penne. It's one of our most popular recipes and for good reason! The sauce is creamy and light with tender chicken and perfect pasta.
PREP TIME: 5 MINSCOOK TIME: 15 MINSTOTAL TIME: 20 MINS

INGREDIENTS:


  • 1lb (or more) uncooked chicken breast, sliced 1/4"
  • 2 cups penne (only the 10-12 minute cooking kind, quicker cooking pasta will be soft)
  • 1 14.5oz can fire roasted tomatoes + 3/4 can of chicken stock (or water)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for flavor)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS


  1. In your pressure cooker, add everything but the cream cheese and Parmesan, give a good stir, and push the pasta down so it's submerged in the liquid. Close lid and set on manual for 7 minutes. When your timer goes off, allow for 5 minutes of NPR then quick release. 
  2. Add the remaining ingredients (cream cheese and Parmesan) and stir until you have a thickened sauce. (About one minute)
  3. I topped mine with a little more fresh grated Parmesan, parsley, and cracked pepper.

NOTES

Use only 10-12 minute penne. Anything under 10 minutes will come out too soft. You can sub penne for any other longer cooking pasta like Orchette, Farfalle, or Fusilli.
