This chicken alfredo pressure cooker recipe is a great way to get a delicious Italian meal on the table in no time. This dish is made with chicken, a creamy alfredo sauce and pasta. It’s a comforting and satisfying meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights. The pressure cooker helps you make a flavorful sauce in a fraction of the time it would normally take. The ingredients are simple and the recipe is pretty straightforward. The result is a hearty meal that your family is sure to love.

The key to this dish is to make sure you cook it long enough. The pressure cooker will help speed up the process, but you still need to make sure that the chicken is cooked through and the pasta is cooked to al dente. This is a dish that can be served as is or you can add some extra flavor and texture with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and some chopped fresh parsley.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

1 pound pasta

Salt and pepper, to taste

Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in your pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is lightly browned. Add the onion and garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine.

2. Lock the lid in place and set the pressure cooker to high. Cook for 8 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before carefully releasing the rest of the pressure.

3. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and pasta to the pressure cooker. Stir to combine. Lock the lid in place and set the pressure cooker to high. Cook for 4 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before carefully releasing the rest of the pressure.

4. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.

Equipment

You’ll need a pressure cooker to make this recipe. I recommend using an electric pressure cooker, such as an Instant Pot, to make this dish. It’s easy to use and the pressure cooker will help speed up the cooking process.

Notes

Make sure you cook the pasta to al dente. If you cook it too long, it will become mushy and not have the best texture. You can always add a few minutes of pressure cooking time if needed.

If you want to add some extra flavor and texture, try adding some freshly chopped parsley or some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
