CHICKEN & PASTA
8 oz Pasta (7-11 min cooking time – spiral pasta works best!)
¼ cup Pesto Sauce
1 teaspoon Pink Salt
½ teaspoon Black Pepper
1 large Chicken Breast
1 teaspoon of Garlic Bouillon (may substitute chicken bouillon)
3 cups Filtered Water (enough to cover pasta)
1 tablespoon Roasted Garlic (roughly 1 garlic bulb – may substitute 4-6 cloves of garlic)
Drizzle of Olive Oil
PESTO SAUCE
1 large Lemon
1 ½ oz Fresh Basil
1 ½ oz Fresh Spinach
½ oz Fresh Parsley
¼ cup Pine Nuts
¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to Taste
1 ½ oz Pecorino Romano Cheese (substitute Parmesan cheese or leave out if dairy-free)
1 tablespoon Roasted Garlic (roughly 1 garlic bulb – may substitute 4-6 cloves of garlic)

2-3 Garlic Bulbs
2-3 tablespoons of Olive Oil
INSTANT POT INSTRUCTIONS:
Thinly slice chicken. Add a tablespoon of pesto to the chicken and mix well. Set INSTANT POT to saute on HIGH. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add chicken and stir well, de-glaze the pot with water as needed. Add roasted garlic and garlic bouillon, along with dried spices. Stir well and de-glaze so nothing is stuck to the bottom. Add pasta, then water. Ensure pasta is submerged, both do not stir. If pasta is not fully submerged, add enough water to cover. Hit cancel on the INSTANT POT and set to HIGH PRESSURE for 3 minutes. Allow 5 minutes of natural pressure and then perform a quick release. Drain pasta and add back to the pot if desired. Add pesto sauce and stir. Plate up a serving of this delicious pasta, top with a teaspoon or two of pesto, grated cheese, sprinkle of pine nuts and a squeeze of lemon (all optional but highly recommended). Enjoy!

Thinly slice chicken. Add a tablespoon of pesto to the chicken and mix well.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and then saute chicken until no longer pink. Add roasted garlic, bouillon and dried spices and stir. Add pasta and water and stir well. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until pasta is al dente. If desired, drain. Add pesto sauce and stir. Plate up a serving of this delicious pasta, top with a teaspoon or two of pesto, grated cheese, sprinkle of pine nuts and a squeeze of lemon (all optional but highly recommended). Enjoy!
PESTO SAUCE:
Toast pine nuts in a dry frying pan until golden (optional but recommended). Add to a food processor and pulse until small crumbs. Add basil, spinach and parsley and pulse drizzling in oil until desired texture. Then zest and juice the lemon into the bowl. Grate the cheese into the bowl, and add the roasted garlic. Pulse until combined. Enjoy!
ROASTED GARLIC:
Chop off tops of garlic bulb and place on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over the top and fold foil to form a packet. Roast at 450F for 45 minutes. Allow to cool to touch, squeeze garlic cloves out of the skins and enjoy!
