SOUTHWEST CHICKEN ALFREDO PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium heat until melted; add garlic. Cook and stir constantly about 1 minute or until fragrant. Add broth, pasta, salt and pepper; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered 12 to 14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most of liquid is absorbed.
• Stir in whipping cream and Parmesan cheese; cook over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until bubbly. Stir in chicken and frozen sweet peas; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated through.
• Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTÉ function. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• When oil gets hot, brown the chicken on both sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add butter to the Instant Pot. When butter is melted, add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until it just begins to brown.
• Mix in cream, broth, salt and nutmeg and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Add (broken in half) noodles, ensuring all noodles are submerged. Nestle chicken breasts in sauce in an even layer, turning once to coat.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 10 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL. Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board and slice into bite-sized pieces.
• Return chicken to the pot, stir in parmesan cheese and serve immediately, garnished with basil.
