Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Turn Instant Pot to saute mode and melt the butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Sear each side for 2 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Pour in chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pot. Add uncooked fettuccine pasta, spreading it evenly.
  • Close the lid, set valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Perform quick release. Remove chicken breasts and slice into strips.
  • Switch to saute mode again, stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
  • Return sliced chicken to the pot and mix well. Serve hot.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan and avoid pre-shredded cheese for a smoother sauce.
