Instant Pot Cajun Pasta

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast cubed
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 12 oz penne
  • 2.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.75 cup Parmesan grated

Method
 

  1. Set the Instant Pot to saute, add the olive oil, and brown the Cajun-seasoned chicken cubes.
  2. Add the broth and dry penne, making sure the pasta is mostly submerged.
  3. Seal the lid and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes, then do a quick release.
  4. Switch back to saute and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan until the sauce thickens.
  5. Let it rest a few minutes to come together before serving.

Notes

Give the pot a good stir after the cream goes in so the cheese doesn't clump.
