How to Make Chicken Parmesan Pasta

Dump and bake recipes are as simple as they sound! Even though there’s no “baking” in this recipe, using a pressure cooker to create this meal means there are minimal steps to bringing this dish from kitchen to table.

How to Cook Pasta in Instant Pot

A watched pot never boils...but an instant pot can make pasta in half the time! Skip boiling salted water or the overflowing saucepan and make pasta in your instant pot. After adding your pasta and water to the pot, cook on high for 5 minutes, and then use the steam release function, allowing all steam to be released before opening. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to meet all safety requirements.

How to Cook Chicken In Instant Pot

Making chicken in an instant pot is ideal for meal prep: it’s simple, it’s fast, and it’ll last in the fridge for about 4 days. Frozen chicken needs more time to cook than fresh chicken (about an extra 5-10 minutes, depending on your Instant Pot’s settings). Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature is at 160 degrees just to be safe.
