Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
  • ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 2 (6 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ½ tablespoons jerk seasoning, divided
  • 2 cups penne pasta
  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup whipping cream, or more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic base (such as Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Garlic Base)
  • 1 ½ cups finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. When hot, add butter, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 2
Meanwhile, slice each chicken breast horizontally creating two thin fillets. Cut each fillet into diagonal strips and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons jerk seasoning. Add to Instant Pot® and cook for 5 minutes. Cancel Saute function. Mix in penne, water, whipping cream, and garlic base.

Step 3
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 4
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in remaining jerk seasoning and Parmesan cheese until well combined. Add more cream if you like, up to 1/4 cup.
