Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 Chicken Breasts Boneless; Skinless; Cut into one inch cubes
- 3 ½ cups Chicken Broth Low Sodium
- 16 ounces Pasta I used Penne, but any short pasta may be used.
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese
- 8 ounces Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesean Garlic Sauce
- ⅔ cup Milk
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot on saute, high for 15 minutes.
- Pour in Olive Oil.
- Once the Olive Oil is hot, pour in the chicken. Saute chicken until lightly browned on all sides.
- Once the chicken is lightly browned, pour in chicken broth. Stir and lightly scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any browned chicken bits. If using a nonstick pot, use a silicone spatula.
- Add the pasta on top. DO NOT STIR PASTA! Simply just push all of the pasta down, so most of it is covered by the liquid.
- Close pressure cooking lid, and move valve to the seal position. Pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. *If you are using a different shape of pasta, follow these instructions to determine the proper pressure cooking time: Take the recommended cooking time that is on the box of pasta and divide by 2 and then subtract 2. Pressure cook for that many minutes. For example, if the box recommends 10 minutes of cook time, divide 10 by 2=5. Subtract 2. 5-2=3. Pressure cook for 3 minutes.
- Once the timer beeps and the Instant Pot is finished pressure cooking, move the valve to the vent position and release the pressure. If a lot of liquid starts to come out of the Instant Pot, close the vent, wait 3-5 minutes and then try to release the pressure again. Continue to do this until all pressure has been released.
- Stir chicken and pasta together. Don't worry if all of the pasta isn't cooked all the way. It will continue to cook as you add the additional ingredients. Turn Instant Pot on saute and add cream cheese, parmesan garlic dressing, milk, and parmesan cheese. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Can I use a different sauce for this recipe?
Yes! You can use whatever type of sauce you would like. It doesn't have to be Buffalo Wild Wing's brand. Although, I would recommend that you stick with a mild and creamy sauce for this recipe. The parmesan garlic sauce works really well with the parmesan and cream cheese.
What is garlic parmesan sauce made of?
The main ingredients are garlic, parmesan, herbs, and usually some form of mayonnaise. You can make your own homemade version, or you can buy it pre-made in the store. I prefer to buy it pre-made because I just love the Buffalo Wild Wings version! Because I use a pre-made sauce, there are a lot of ingredients due to it being shelf-stable.
