Instant Pot bruschetta chicken pasta is a delicious dinner that’s so easy to make! This is a quick dump-and-go dinner that takes less than 30 minutes of total time to make.

And the chicken pasta is so good! The dish has lots of flavor from the seasoning, garlic, onion, and basil. It’s a delicious recipe that tastes light and fresh!

Ingredients

  • Chicken breast: It’s important to cut the chicken into small pieces so that it cooks in the cooking time.
  • Italian seasoning: Feel free to use more if desired.
  • Garlic: The garlic mellows as it cooks, so use more if you’d like stronger garlic flavor.
  • Cellentani pasta: This type of pasta is sometimes called cavatappi. You can use a similar type of pasta, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Chicken broth: I like to use reduced-sodium broth to keep the salt level down.
  • Italian style diced tomatoes: If you can’t find Italian style tomatoes, you can use diced tomatoes and add additional Italian seasoning.
  • Parmesan cheese: You can omit the cheese if you would like.
  • Roma tomatoes: Or a similar type of tomato.
  • Red onion: For milder onion flavor, use shallot instead.
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Basil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
