Ingredients for Instant Pot Greek Chicken Pasta 

Here comes the fun part, the ingredients to this dish. All ingredients in a dish are super important, which is why I enjoy talking about what I choose to add to these dishes. It’s nice to get a rundown of what’s in each recipe as well. 

  • Penne pasta – Can I just tell you that I LOVE making dishes with Penne Pasta? I can always buy it on sale and it can help make some awesome large family table dishes. 
  • Skinless chicken breasts – If you can buy the chicken on sale, go for it! Chicken is freezable and very budget-friendly. 
  • Pitted Kalamata olives – A unique ingredient in this dish are these Pitted Kalamata olives. You won’t believe the flavor the olives add to this dish. 
  • Cucumbers – You may think that sounds weird in a pasta dish, but these cucumbers help make this dish what it is. 
  • Chicken broth – To help ensure you’re putting nutrients in this dish, don’t forget the chicken broth or make your own! There are so many good nutrients in chicken broth. 

Instant Pot Greek Chicken Pasta has several ingredients and these are only a few. Make sure you check out the recipe card for more ingredients and directions. 

Slow Cooker Options

Any good dish is a versatile dish, which is what makes this Instant Pot Creamy Tomato and Olive Chicken Pasta so good. To cook this in a slow cooker is easy! I’ll show you how to make your life that much easier by putting it in a slow cooker or crockpot. 

  • Season the chicken breast. 
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and brown the chicken in batches. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
  • Add the pasta, garlic, remaining seasonings, and chicken broth to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients before serving.

At the end of the day, you can enjoy this meal and not have to put a lot of effort into it.

  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
