  • I used fusilli pasta, but you can go with any kind of pasta that fits into your instant pot easily.
  • Using chicken breast allows for a delicious flavor and quicker coking time.
  • Cutting the chicken breast into strips or cubes helps make cooking faster.
  • The type of veggies you choose are completely up to you, and depends on what you have on hand.
  • Same with the sauce - I just added cream, however pesto and other sauces are amazing too!
  • Adding extra flavoring like spice, herbs, lemon zest is an easy way to infuse flavor.
  • Finally cheeses: adding Parmesan is the prefect finish. However adding blue cheese, goat cheese, feta cheese is also amazing!!
