Ingredients

Instructions

  • Turn the Instant Pot on saute mode. When hot, add the oil. Then add the chicken breast, garlic powder, and salt, and saute until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Turn off.
  • Pour in the marinara sauce. Add the pasta on top. Do not stir.
  • Pour the water into the pot and make sure the pasta is submerged. Do not stir.
  • Secure the lid and set the vent to sealing (if necessary for your model).
  • Set to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. When done, immediately release the pressure. Remove the lid and stir. The sauce will be watery when you open the lid. That’s how it should be.
  • Add in the cheeses and stir.
  • Turn off the pot and set the lid on the pot. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and thyme and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
