Place onions and garlic in the bottom of the Instant Pot with 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water or chicken broth.
Dice the chicken breasts into bite size pieces and place in the Instant Pot.
Season the chicken breast with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
TIP: Keep pasta around 1”, if they are too big, they will not cook through!
Next, cover the diced chicken breasts with penne noodles.
Now you are going to pour your pasta sauce over noodles, but do not mix.
Turn IP on to high pressure for 4 minutes. Make sure you set the valve to SEALED. (if you are using a different type of pasta, just cut the cooking time listed on the box in half). Once the 4 minutes is up, do a quick release.
Next, stir in the parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Once combined and melted you are ready to serve.
