Where fo you get those. I have only seen canned mushrooms in 4 oz and 8 oz (or larger) sizes. I have a very similar recipe (w/pasta) that I collected before I gave my instant pot to my sister-in-law. My mental taster says it should be pretty good. MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Instant Pot Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Categories: Poultry, Pasta, Cheese, Pork, Potatoes Yield: 8 Servings 1 1/2 lb Boned, skinned chicken 1 lb Uncooked trottole, cavatappi - cellentani or rotini pasta 4 c Broth 1 ts Garlic powder 3 tb Dry ranch dressing mix 14 1/2 oz Can petite diced tomatoes 8 oz Cream cheese 1/2 c Milk 1/2 c Parmesan cheese 6 sl Crispy bacon; crumbled 3 lg Handfuls of baby spinach +=OR=+ 10 oz Broccoli florets Salt & pepper There are two methods of making this pasta. The first way you cook the chicken pieces whole and then slice them. This method is nice if you have frozen chicken pieces and you don't want to thaw them. I believe that this method lends itself to juicier chicken. With this method you'll need to cook your pasta using the pot-in- pot method. The second way takes less cooking time because you cut up the chicken first and it cooks quickly. METHOD 1 Good for frozen chicken and if you want juicy, sliceable chicken. Add a half cup of water or chicken broth to the bottom of your Instant Pot. Add in the chicken. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken. Pour the pasta into a pan* that fits inside your Instant Pot and then add 4 cups of chicken broth into the pan. Cover the pan with foil. Lower the pan on top of the chicken using a sling or a trivet** with long handles. * https://tinyurl.com/yxyw4yx7 ** https://tinyurl.com/qoqazpd Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 10 minutes (for thawed chicken) or 12 minutes (for frozen chicken). When the time is up let the pot sit there for 5 minutes (display will say L0:05) and then move the valve to venting. Open the pot. Use hot pads to carefully remove the pasta pan. Set it aside. Remove the chicken and slice it up on a cutting board. Discard the cooking liquid in the Instant Pot. Pour the pasta back into the empty Instant Pot and turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting. Add in the garlic powder, ranch dressing mix, diced tomatoes, cream cheese and milk. Stir and let the cream cheese melt. Once the cream cheese is melted and incorporated add in the chicken, bacon, spinach or broccoli (see note) and parmesan cheese. Stir until spinach is wilted down. Taste test and add salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add in additional milk to make it a looser consistency. METHOD 2: Cut your chicken into bite size pieces. In the order listed add chicken, pasta, 3 1/2 cups broth, garlic powder, ranch dressing mix and diced tomatoes into the Instant Pot. DongCOt stir. Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes for pasta with more bite and 4 minutes for softer pasta. When the time is up let the pot sit there for 5 minutes (display with say L0:05) and then move the valve to venting. Open the pot. Turn Instant Pot to the saute setting. Add in the cream cheese and milk. Let the cream cheese melt, stirring often. If the sauce is too runny you can make a cornstarch slurry (stir 2 Tbsp water with 2 Tbsp cornstarch until smooth and then add mixture to the pot). Once the cream cheese is melted and incorporated add in the bacon, spinach or broccoli (see note) and parmesan cheese. Stir until spinach is wilted down. Taste test and add salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add in additional milk to make it a looser consistency. Yield: 8 servings RECIPE FROM: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
