Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
12 ounces fettuccine
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot and season with salt and black pepper.
2. Add the butter, minced garlic, and chicken broth to the pot.
3. Break the fettuccine in half and lay it over the liquid in a crisscross pattern.
4. Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
5. Let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then carefully quick release the remaining pressure.
6. Remove the chicken and shred it or slice it into bite-sized pieces.
7. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté on low and stir in the heavy cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
8. Return the chicken to the pot and toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated.
9. Add chopped parsley, then serve hot with extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest Alfredo sauce.
If the sauce thickens too much, stir in a splash of warm broth or cream before serving.
Cut or shred the chicken into even pieces so it mixes evenly through the pasta.
