Instant Pot Olive Garden Chicken Pasta is a quick and easy dinner recipe! This simple pasta dinner requires almost no prep.
It cooks entirely in Instant Pot, and the recipe is flexible. You can use different types of pasta or change up the spices to suit your tastes.
Ingredient notes
- Chicken breast: Feel free to use chicken tenderloins or chicken thighs. If you’re using chicken thighs, you may need to increase the cooking time.
- Pasta: You can use different shapes of short pasta like penne, rigatoni, or a similar pasta.
- Chicken broth: I like to use reduced-sodium chicken broth because the dressing is on the saltier side. You can also use a bouillon cube + 4 cups of hot water in place of the chicken broth.
- Cream cheese: I recommend using full-fat or reduced-fat cream cheese. I don’t recommend using fat-free cream cheese.
