Best Instant Pot Creamy Chipotle Chicken Pasta Recipes

CHICKEN PASTA WITH CHIPOTLE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Since the pasta will be added back and cooked in the sauce for a few minutes, cook it on the low end of the range on the package instructions. (If the instructions say cook 9-11 minutes, cook for 9 minutes).
• In a large, high sided skillet over medium high, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add chicken and cook 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from pan. Don't worry if there are some browned bits left in the skillet!
• In the same skillet over medium low heat, melt butter. Then add garlic, chipotle chilis and adobo sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to make sure garlic doesn't burn.
• Stir in cream and chicken stock mixed with 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Cook 3-4 minutes on medium low until sauce is thickened and bubbling slightly.
• Add chicken back to pan (make sure you get all the juices in there, too!), along with corn, tomatoes and pasta. Increase temperature to medium high and cook 3-4 minutes more until everything is heated through, stirring occasionally to get everything well mixed and coated with the sauce.
• Turn off the heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Stir, stir, stir until cheese is melted and incorporated into the pasta.
• Serve immediately garnished with lots of scallions, cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if you like!
