Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cups chicken broth

8 ounces uncooked penne pasta

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup spinach, roughly chopped

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Chicken: Set your Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Add olive oil and let it heat. Season the chicken pieces with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken to the pot and sauté until it’s browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally.

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes: Add minced garlic and cherry tomatoes to the pot. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

      Pressure Cook the Pasta: Pour in the chicken broth and add the uncooked penne pasta. Gently push the pasta under the broth so it’s submerged. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set to Manual or Pressure Cook for 5 minutes.

        Release the Pressure: Once the cooking time is complete, quick release the pressure by turning the valve carefully. Open the lid when it’s safe to do so.

          Stir in Cream and Spinach: Switch back to Sauté mode and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and then add the chopped spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

            Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well incorporated into the sauce. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

              Serve: Spoon the creamy Tuscan chicken pasta into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
