Ingredients:

• Sour Cream
• Mayonnaise
• Parmesan Cheese
• Chicken Tenders or Chicken Breasts, cut into bite size pieces
• Artichoke hearts, packed in water
• Garlic Powder
• Seasoned Salt
• Black Pepper
• Olive Oil
• Water

How to make Instant Pot Spinach Artichoke Pasta:

First you need to turn instant pot onto the the sauté function. No lid is needed for this step.

Second, you need to adjust your instant pot to the high pressure setting.

Next, combine spinach, 3 ½ cups water, and 4 cups pasta in the instant pot liner.  Allow this mixture to simmer until the pasta cooked to al dente, and the spinach has cooked down. This should take roughly 8-10 minutes.

After the pasta and spinach has been cooked, drain the excess water and set the mixture aside in separate container.

Next, add olive oil to the now empty instant pot liner and add chicken.  Then add ½ tablespoon of seasoned salt, and ¼ tablespoon of black pepper.

After the seasonings have been added, sauté chicken 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked but still tender.

Next, combine spinach, pasta, and chicken and allow this mixture to cook for 2 minutes on the sauté setting. Leave this mixture on warm while you complete the next step.

Then, in a large bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, half of the parmesan cheese and artichokes, ½ tablespoon seasoned salt, and 1 tablespoon garlic powder. Once this mixture is combined, add it to the chicken mixture in the instant pot and mix together.

Next, sauté this mixture for 1-2 minutes. We’re warming it up just enough to make it hot. You do not want to overcook it, as it will make it curdle.

Lastly, top your spinach artichoke pasta with the rest of parmesan and enjoy!

Life is so busy and easy one pot recipes like this sure do help get dinner on the table in a hurry.  The instant pot cuts down on the cooking and prep time so much. And I love having less dishes to wash!
