Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning divided
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 2 T butter
  • 3 cups sliced portobello mushrooms
  • 12 oz penne
  • 1 quart chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan
  • 6 oz cream cheese cubed

Instructions

  • Season chicken breasts on both sides with 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper.

  • Pour the uncooked pasta into the pot, along with the remaining stock. Top with the chicken breasts. Lock lid into place, set release valve to SEAL, press CANCEL, then MANUAL. Set cooking time to 5 minutes. 
  • Do a quick release when cooking time as elapsed. Remove chicken and chop to desired size. Return to pot, along with cream, parmesan, cream cheese, mushrooms and spinach. Stir together gently until cheese have melted and spinach has wilted.
