Sauces Pasta Sauces Creamy Alfredo Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo 3.8 (5) 5 Reviews 2 Photos I don't claim to be Italian, and I'm sure many Italian nonnas would cringe at a pressure-cooked chicken Alfredo, but this recipe is kept simple to ensure the integrity of the classic dish. Please note this recipe uses heavy whipping cream, and I cannot guarantee the same success with any other liquid. I recommend Savory Spice Shop cantanzaro herbs instead of Italian herbs. This uses an elevated steam rack, which can be found on Amazon.

Sprinkle all sides with 1 teaspoon garlic salt and cantanzaro herbs. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Melt 1 tablespoon butter.

Stir remaining garlic salt and Parmesan cheese into sauce. Divide pasta into 3 serving bowls and top each with 1 chicken breast filet. Top with additional Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
