Instant Pot Pesto Chicken Pasta Salad

1.5 to 2 lbs of chicken breasts, cut into small chunks

1 lb (1 box) of rotini pasta

4 cups of chicken broth (4 cups of water + 1 tbsp of Chicken Better Than Bouillon)

10oz box of frozen peas (I used half but you can totally use the whole box!)

12 - 22oz jar of Pesto sauce (I used about ¾ of a Costco/Kirkland Signature 22 oz jar but you can use more or less to taste. If you’re not a member of Costco and can’t get this amazing sauce, you may be able to find other jarred pesto in your supermarket or you can make your own)

Want it hot instead? Just serve it right away instead of chilling! Tastes JUST as great!

Want some cheese? Crumbled Feta goes GREAT with this as well. Toss some in!

Hate peas and want to use other veggies? Go for it! The sky’s the limit! For instance, try it with some (pitted) Kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes and chopped red onion too if you wish!

subheading: If you wish to make your own Pesto sauce, you’ll need the following:

1 ½ cups of fresh Basil leaves

½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese

⅓ cup of extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup of pine nuts

3 gloves of crushed garlic
