Cook Time
This recipe takes about 20 minutes to cook in the Instant Pot. The pressure will build up and the timer will start to count down. Once the timer is done, you'll need to do a quick release of the pressure before you can open the lid and serve.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup uncooked small pasta (such as orzo, shells, ditalini, etc.)
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting and add the chicken thighs. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
2. Add the onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened. Add the tomatoes, broth, and pasta and stir to combine.
3. Place the chicken on top of the pasta and vegetables. Secure the lid and turn the pressure release valve to the sealed position. Select the manual/pressure cook setting and set the timer for 5 minutes.
4. Once the timer is done, do a quick release of the pressure. Carefully remove the lid and stir in the Parmesan cheese, if using. Serve the chicken and pasta topped with fresh parsley, if desired.
Equipment
