Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pasta uncooked
  • 1 pound chicken breasts skinless, boneless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tablespoons butter diced
  • 2 cups chicken broth water or chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon Stone House Seasoning 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 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

Instructions

  • Add to Instant Pot. Break the uncooked pasta in half and place into the bottom of the Instant Pot in a random pattern so that all noodles aren't clumped together. Top the noodles with the cubed chicken breasts. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the butter and Stone House Seasoning.
  • Pressure Cook. Secure the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • Pressure Release. When the cook cycle has completed, allow the Instant Pot to enter natural pressure release for 10 minutes. Then, carefully perform a quick release and carefully remove the lid according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Add Cream and Cheeses. Stir in the cubed cream cheese, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese into the hot chicken Alfredo mixture. Allow to rest a few minutes, then stir the pasta to incorporate all of the sauce with the chicken and pasta.
  • Serve. Serve the chicken Alfredo and top with additional parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Storage Instructions:
  • Refrigerate: Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. 
  • Reheat: Warm chicken Alfredo in the microwave or stovetop. Add a splash of broth or water to refresh the sauce.
  • Meal Prep: Assemble in containers without garnishing. Add any garnishes right before eating.
Cooking Time: The cooking time does not include the time for the Instant Pot to pressurize or naturally release. This time depends on the pressure cooker used.
