This classic dish comes together quickly for a dinner ready in less than 30 minutes, and it takes only a few ingredients to make your own sauce. This recipe uses already-cooked chicken, so feel free to grab a rotisserie chicken and shred away, or use the Shredded Chicken recipe in this chapter.

Ingredients

2 cups shredded cooked rotisserie chicken
2 cups dry penne
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup frozen broccoli florets
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Place chicken, penne, broth, broccoli, butter, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into an Instant Pot®. Place the lid on the pot and click into place to close. Press the Pressure Cook button and adjust the timer to 5 Minutes.
When the timer beeps, quick-release the pressure until float valve drops. Unlock lid. Pour in milk and cream, stirring quickly until well combined.
While the Instant Pot® is on Keep Warm mode, sprinkle in Parmesan and continue stirring until sauce begins to thicken and coat pasta, about 2 Minutes. Serve warm.
