Hi everyone! Welcome back to see my results! On Thursday, September 10th I made my second dish! This time I knew better on where everything was in my kitchen. I did need help understanding which pots and pans to use for certain things, but cooking was a lot better! When making my Parmesan Chicken Pasta I followed Olena Osipov’s recipe!
Her recipe is as follows, but I had to modify a few things based on what we had at home and what I could learn easier.
- Sauté for about 4-5 minutes.
- In the meanwhile, sprinkle chicken breasts with basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper on both sides.
- Swirl oil in Instant Pot and add chicken breasts. Cook for 4-5 mins per each side. Helps to tilt the pot to distribute oil as its bottom isn’t flat like a skillet.
- Remove chicken on a plate, add 1 cup stock.
- Add remaining 4 cups of stock, pasta, olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper and stir.
- Add chicken and pour tomato sauce on top. Do not stir!
- Close the lid and cook on High for 5 minutes.
- Release pressure immediately
- Open the lid, remove chicken onto a plate and cut into small pieces. Return to the pot.
- Add 1-2 cloves grated garlic, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese and stir.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Mozzarella, close the lid and let cheese melt for 5 minutes.
Overall, this dish was super easy and fun to make. At first I needed some assistance with grating the garlic, but I got the hang of it all. My family loved it and I was very happy to see that I made their favorite dish well. 10/10 recommend!
