To make this instant pot pasta, I started by cutting some boneless, skinless chicken breasts into one inch chunks.
Then I set my Instant Pot to Saute Less for seven minutes.
I added a dab of margarine to the Instant Pot and then dumped the chicken breast chunks in.
I left the chicken breast chunks to cook, stirring occasionally, until the Instant Pot turned off.
The chicken was still slightly pink when the Instant Pot turned off.
Then I added some condensed chicken broth and water to the pot.
I added some cheese tortellini to the pot and spread it out evenly.
I poured some condensed cream of chicken soup on top of the tortellini.
I also added some salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for three minutes.
When the Instant Pot was done cooking, I immediately turned the steam release handle to the venting position and did a quick release.
I removed the lid from the pot and stirred the contents well.
I added some chopped broccoli florets to pot.
I stirred well and then left the pasta to sit for three minutes so that the broccoli could cook in the sauce.
Then I added some shredded mozzarella, cheddar and Parmesan cheese to the pot.
I stirred until the cheese was melted.
Then the tortellini was ready to serve.
This cheesy tortellini has an extra creamy sauce.
