Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast or cutlets, cubed
16 oz farfalle (bow tie pasta)
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 cups broccoli florets
1 small shallot, minced
1 tbsp olive oil

Chicken Seasoning

Creamy Alfredo Sauce

1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tbsp cream cheese
2 tbsp butter

Instructions

Turn instant pot on sauté mode. Add oil, shallots, chicken and all the seasoning. Stir to coat chicken with seasoning. Sauté for about 10-12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
Add pasta and chicken broth. Give it a good stir.
Turn off sauté mode. Cover the instant pot and seal the vent knob. Turn on high pressure for 3 minutes. When the time is up, quick release all pressure.
Remove lid and turn on sauté mode. Add alfredo sauce ingredients and broccoli and stir. Cook for about 7-8 minutes stirring often.

Notes

To store: Store the leftover pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

To reheat: Either reheat the leftovers in the microwave or in a skillet on the stove until warmed through. Keep some extra alfredo sauce on the side to mix in with the leftovers as they can dry out a little as they sit.
