Even being a seasoned Instant Pot user, it still blows my mind when I eat something this delicious that took about 20 minutes from start to finish to cook. For a perfect date night dessert, try our delicious Instant Pot Creme Brulee.

My family quickly fell in love with this recipe, as did I. They loved the flavors and creaminess of the dish, as did I, but I also liked the ease of cooking it. Not to mention the cleanup was a breeze because I just used my Instant Pot, no other dishes needed to be washed. I just headed up some breadsticks and dinner was ready. You can also add in a side salad if you would like or even garlic bread, I generally use whatever I have on hand at the time.

Secrets To A Perfect Chicken Florentine Pasta

Chicken Broth | Here is a little secret to an extra savory and flavorful chicken florentine pasta recipe. Instead of using water, I replace it with chicken broth! The chicken broth will give you a more deep layer of flavor, as the pasta and chicken soak it up during the cooking process.

Heavy Cream | While milk could work, the heavy cream offers a creamier texture and added flavor to your pasta recipe. I love a sauce that sticks well to the pasta and other ingredients, and this recipe does just that.

I know you might be thinking those are two simple ingredients, but let me tell you they will make a difference in your end result!

Can I Use Pre-Cooked Chicken In This Chicken Florentine Pasta Recipe

Yes! I have used some leftover rotisserie chicken before, and it worked just as good as using fresh or frozen chicken. The only thing to remember is if your chicken has different seasonings on it already, just be aware to could change the flavor of the dish slightly. Using leftover chicken is great because you use up any leftover meat, but also it speeds up the process of this recipe even more with less prep!

Make sure to let me know how you all enjoy this recipe! Our family loves it, and I think you will too.
