Ingredients
  

For the Pasta:
  • 1 pound pasta uncooked (fettuccine or penne work beautifully)
  • 1 pound chicken breasts skinless and boneless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tablespoons butter diced
  • 2 cups chicken broth or water or chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon Stone House Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese plus more for topping
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional for garnish

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by turning your Instant Pot to the "Sauté" mode. Add the diced butter to the pot and let it melt. Once melted, toss in the bite-sized chicken pieces. Season with the Stone House Seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned on all sides.
  2. Once the chicken is browned, add the uncooked pasta directly into the pot. Pour in the chicken broth (or water) and give everything a good stir, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
  3. Secure the lid on your Instant Pot, making sure the valve is set to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, do a quick release of the pressure by carefully turning the valve to venting.
  4. After releasing the pressure, remove the lid and stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream. Mix until the cream cheese is fully melted and integrated into the pasta.
  5. Lastly, sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy. If you want an extra indulgent touch, feel free to add more Parmesan on top!
  6. Before serving, sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for a fresh finish. Serve this delicious Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo warm, with additional Parmesan cheese for those who love a cheesy bite.
