Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo

Step 1

Turn Instant Pot to saute. When it reads "hot" add oil and let the oil heat for a couple minutes.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts and cook just until no longer pink, about 2 minutes each side.

Step 3

Add the garlic, salt, parsley, oregano and pepper and stir and cook 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the chicken broth, and scrape the bottom of the pot with a hard metal spoon to remove any stuck on bits. Turn the Instant Pot off.

Step 5

Add the pasta -- don't stir -- and press down into the liquid. The liquid will just barely cover the pasta.

Step 6

Put the lid on, turn the valve to sealing, and select Manual or Pressure Cook for 2 minutes (3 for bowtie pasta or a softer texture).

Step 7

When the cook time is over, do a quick release (open the valve all the way) and remove the lid. Turn the Instant Pot to saute.

Step 8

Stir together the water and corn starch and stir into the pasta. Allow to cook and thicken slightly.

Step 9

Turn off the Instant Pot. Cut the cream cheese into small cubes. (You can warm it slightly in the microwave to make it easier to incorporate as well)

Step 10

Stir in the cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Stir until melted. Serve.
