Ingredients
- 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes without oil
- ½ tbsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 lb. chicken breast diced into 1-inch cubes
- 12 oz whole wheat pasta cooked and drained
- 2 cups frozen spinach
- ¾ cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup fat-free cottage cheese
- ⅔ cup parmesan cheese grated
- ¼ cup fresh basil or 1 tsp dried
Directions
Lightly spray your Instant Pot with cooking spray and set Instant Pot to sauté. Once your pot is hot, add sun dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning salt, and pepper. Cook until just fragrant. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent sticking.
Add chicken and brown on all sides for 3-5 minutes
Add your whole wheat noodles and chicken broth to the pot. Stir and make sure all the pasta is covered in liquid. Close and lock the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Select Pressure Cook (high) and set the cook time for 3 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, blend the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese together until smooth and set aside.
When the cook time is complete, quick release the pressure, and remove the lid. Add spinach and basil to the pot, then drain the excess liquid from the pot.
Add the parmesan, blended yogurt, and cottage cheese, and stir until evenly mixed.
