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

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.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 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.
  2. When the timer beeps, quick-release the pressure until float valve drops. Unlock lid. Pour in milk and cream, stirring quickly until well combined.
  3. 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.
