Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo

I am obsessed with this chicken alfredo. I mean, it’s made with butter, cream, and parmesan…what’s not to like about it? Whenever I make this, I can’t just have one bowl. I always grab seconds because something about it just hits the spot.

Even when reheating this for my partner after he came back late, I was sneaking bites out of his bowl of chicken alfredo haha. I cannot resist this Instant Pot chicken alfredo! Served with a crusty bread and you’ve got my full undivided attention.

Can you use Premade Alfredo Sauce in the Instant Pot?

For this recipe, we make our own. It’s super simple, promise! I haven’t tried pre-made jarred sauce as I’m concerned that it’ll be too thick and give the burn message.

How To Make Chicken Alfredo in the Instant Pot

On sauté mode, melt your butter, place your seasoned chicken (salt and pepper) inside, and brown the chicken.

Remove the chicken after browning it on both sides, it doesn’t have to be cooked through as it’ll cook some more later. The reason we brown the chicken here is I find that it adds more flavour to the chicken, especially as it’s browned in butter.

Next, add in the garlic, give it a stir, and then add in your stock. Using your wooden spoon, deglaze your Instant Pot/scrape off any brown bits on the Instant Pot from the chicken.

Next, add in the heavy cream and then your fettuccine. Layer the chicken on top.

Close your lid, set the valve to sealing, and set the Instant Pot on high pressure for 6 minutes.

When done, let natural pressure release for 5 minutes before quick releasing.

Stir in parmesan cheese to thicken the liquid. The sauce will also thicken more as it cools. Serve immediately.

How Do You Reheat Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo Leftovers?

This Instant Pot alfredo chicken holds up best the day you make it, however, you can reheat leftovers gently on the stove. I also own a mini convection/steamer oven combo and steaming it works as well.

Notes on This Instant Pot Alfredo Chicken

Do not substitute milk for the heavy cream. Milk can curdle or separate when cooked under pressure.

This recipe has only been tested in the Instant Pot 60 DUO PLUS 6 QT. Adjustments may have to be made in different sizes/models.
