Cook Time 46 minutes

Yield 1 whole chicken

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup pine nuts
2 cloves garlic
1 bunch fresh basil, stems removed
3 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste, divided
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 whole chicken
1 cup milk
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta

Steps:

  • Toast pine nuts and garlic cloves in a dry saucepan over medium heat. Transfer to a food processor; add basil, 2 tablespoons olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Process until combined.
  • Turn on a multi-cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select the Saute function. Coat the bottom of the pot with the remaining olive oil.

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain. Add pasta to the chicken and sauce; stir to combine.
