Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • ⅓ cup roasted red peppers
  • 32 ounces chicken broth
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 14 ounces cream cheese plain flavor
  • 2 cups water
  • ¼ cup fresh basil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 10 ounces gluten free pasta uncooked
  • ¼ cup parmesan

Instructions
 

  • In the Instant Pot, add olive oil, garlic, and diced onion. Cook on Sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Add salt, pepper, basil, chicken, broth, water, 7 ounces of the cream cheese, and roasted red peppers. Close and lock the pressure cooker. Cook on poultry setting or 15 minutes.
  • Safely release pressure per your pressure cooker brand's safety instructions.
  • Open the pressure cooker and remove the chicken. Shred the chicken and put back into the pot. Add the uncooked pasta to the pot. Cook on manual 5 minutes.
  • Safely depressurize the pressure cooker again. Add raw spinach leaves and last 7 ounces of cream cheese and mix well. 
  • Garnish with parmesan and more fresh basil.

Notes

  1. I have found corn/rice blend gluten free pasta holds up better in the Instant Pot for this recipe.
  2. If you are dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese.
  3. You can add more vegetables like carrots and artichokes.
  4. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing leftovers because pasta will turn to mush.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
