Ingredients for Tuscan Chicken Pasta

  • Low-sodium chicken broth
  • Sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • Italian seasoning
  • Garlic
  • Chicken breasts
  • Campanelle pasta
  • Baby spinach
  • Light cream cheese (regular works too)
  • Parmesan
  • Fresh basil

Substitutes for this Tuscan Chicken Pasta Recipe

  • Frozen spinach that is thawed and drained can replace fresh spinach.
  • In place of light, regular cream cheese will work.
  • You could substitute another type of bite-size pasta like cavatappi, bowtie, or penne if you can’t find campanelle pasta.
  • I’d go with about 3/4 tsp. Garlic powder could replace the fresh one.
  • If you do not want to buy fresh basil, add 1 tsp of dried basil together with Italian seasoning.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 32 oz carton low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes with herbs and drained and dab excess oil off with paper towels chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 12 oz uncooked campanelle pasta
  • 5 oz fresh baby spinach
  • 1 8 oz pkg. light cream cheese, and cut into cubes and softened
  • 1 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese fresh shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • In the Instant Pot insert, combine broth, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (adjust seasoning later if needed).
  • Stir in chicken and pasta, making sure to submerge them into the broth.
  • Secure the lid, set the pressure valve to "sealing," and select the "manual" or high-pressure setting for 5 minutes.
  • After the timer beeps, select "cancel" and perform a quick release by carefully turning the valve to the "venting" position, stepping back as steam releases.
  • Once the steam stops, open the lid and immediately stir the noodles to separate. Add spinach, light cream cheese, and Parmesan, stirring well.
  • Allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken (it may seem like soup initially, but it thickens as it rests).
  • Just before serving, toss in basil. Serve warm and optionally garnish with diced sun-dried tomatoes.
