Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

4 cups chicken broth

12 oz (340g) fettuccine pasta

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Chicken: Turn the Instant Pot to the Sauté mode. Add the olive oil and let it heat up. Add the cubed chicken and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add Broth and Pasta: Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the fettuccine pasta, making sure it is submerged in the liquid as much as possible.

      Pressure Cook: Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to Sealing. Select the Manual or Pressure Cook setting and adjust the timer to 8 minutes.

        Quick Release: Once the cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick release by turning the valve to Venting.

          Stir in Cream and Cheese: After releasing the pressure, open the lid and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow it to sit for a couple of minutes to thicken, then taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

            Garnish and Serve: Ladle the creamy chicken Alfredo pasta into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious meal!
