Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken and Pasta, Any ideas on how to make this better?

Enhance the Flavors:

Marinate the chicken: Marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and oregano), salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes. This will infuse the chicken with extra flavor.
Sauté the vegetables: Before adding the pasta, sauté the vegetables (onion, red bell pepper, garlic) for a few minutes until they become fragrant and slightly softened. This will deepen their flavor and add sweetness to the dish.
Use flavorful broth: Switch out water for low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth to enhance the overall flavor profile.
Add sun-dried tomatoes: For a boost of tangy, umami flavor, add sun-dried tomatoes to the pot along with the other ingredients.
Stir in fresh herbs: Just before serving, sprinkle in fresh parsley or basil for a bright, herbaceous touch.

Texture and Technique:

Use a combination of pasta shapes: Instead of using only one type of pasta, try mixing in different shapes and sizes to create a more interesting texture.
Cook the pasta al dente: Follow the package instructions and cook the pasta until it’s just al dente (slightly firm to the bite). This will prevent it from becoming mushy.
Deglaze the pan: After removing the chicken and pasta, deglaze the inner pot with a splash of white wine or lemon juice. This will dissolve any stuck-on bits and add complexity to the sauce.

Presentation and Garnish:

Top with shaved Parmesan: Sprinkle freshly shaved Parmesan cheese over the top of the finished dish for a salty, nutty flavor.
Garnish with fresh vegetables: Add chopped green onions, cherry tomatoes, or roasted red peppers as a colorful and fresh garnish.
Serve with a side of bread: Offer crusty bread or garlic bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
