Ingredients

1 tablespoon salted butter
1 tablespoon herb-infused olive oil
1 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut in bite-sized pieces
1 ½ teaspoons garlic granules
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 ¼ cups chicken broth
¾ cup farfalle pasta
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
¼ cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
1 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian-style soffrito seasoning blend (such as Trader Joe's®)

Directions

Heat butter and oil in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) set to Saute function. Add chicken to the hot pot; stir in garlic and oregano. Cook and stir until chicken is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
Pour chicken broth into the pot and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in pasta and whipping cream. Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes on top. Hit Cancel.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes; quick-release remaining pressure. Unlock and remove the lid.
Stir in 1 cup Parmesan cheese until melted. Top with soffrito seasoning and extra cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
