Creamy Garlic Chicken

This is one amazing pasta dish! I really hate working with raw meat but this is worth all my anxiety to make because it is just THAT good!

Recipe found here

Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast, diced (raw)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
16 oz pasta (we love elbow macaroni or rotini for this one!)
3 cups chicken broth
3 Tbsp butter
1 1⁄4 cup heavy cream
2 oz cream cheese
3 oz grated parmesan cheese
Fresh basil

Seasoning:
1 tsp salt
3 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1⁄4 tsp black pepper

Directions

Combine all seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Turn on instant pot and turn on the Saute function. Heat olive oil. Then add chicken and sprinkle seasoning on top. Stir and cook until mostly cooked through (it will finish cooking a little later). Turn off the saute function. Add a little broth to the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan (this is called deglazing... it keeps the BURN signal from going off). Then add remaining broth and pasta and give everything a good stir. Cover with the lid and seal. Cook on High pressure for 3 minutes. Do a quick release of pressure. Then stir in the butter, heave cream, cream cheese and parmesan cheese. Add more seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with fresh basil to serve.
