How to Make

Instant pot bruschetta chicken and pasta is so easy to make!

Start by making the topping by stirring together the cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Set it aside.

Then put the liner in the Instant Pot.

Stir together the oil, chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and diced tomatoes in the liner of the Instant Pot.

Add the pasta to the pot so that it’s on top of the chicken mixture.

Then pour in the broth and water without disturbing the pasta so that they cover or almost cover the pasta.

Secure the lid on the pot and make sure the vent valve is in the ‘sealed’ position.

Pressure cook on HIGH pressure for 3 minutes.

Carefully open the vent valve to do a ‘quick release’.

Stir everything together to evenly combine.

Add the cheese and topping.

Cover the pot with the lid and let the pasta rest for 5 minutes.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.

Tips and Tricks

Make sure to cut the chicken into pieces that are no more than an 1″ sized and make the pieces similar size. This will ensure the chicken cooks evenly and all the way through.
Follow the order listed in the instructions for adding the ingredients to the Instant Pot. This will keep everything from sticking to the bottom of the pot and prevent the burn notice.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your tastes.
