Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 cloves garlic, minced
5 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
2 pounds chicken tenderloins
1 (12 ounce) package whipped cream cheese
3 cups chopped fresh spinach
1 pinch ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Turn on an 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), add oil, and select Saute function. Add onions and mushrooms to the hot oil; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until onions are turning clear and mushrooms begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a bowl and reserve.
  • Pour chicken broth into the pot and add Italian seasoning. Break spaghetti noodles in half and add to the pot in 2 layers, with the second layer in a crisscross direction to the first layer.
  • Season chicken tenderloins with salt and pepper. Lay on top of the spaghetti. Spoon cooked vegetables over top. Cancel Saute function.
  • Close and lock the lid and seal the vent. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 6 minutes, then use the quick-release method to release any remaining pressure. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Add cream cheese, spinach, and nutmeg; stir to distribute ingredients.
  • Replace the lid and allow the residual heat of the pot to melt the cheese and lightly steam the spinach, about 10 minutes. Give the spaghetti and sauce a final stir, then serve with Parmesan cheese.
