Pollo Alfredo en Instant Pot

Ingredientes

• 2 pounds chicken breasts (skinless and boneless)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 pound fettuccine pasta (uncooked)
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 cup milk
• fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Preparación

1. 1

   Sear the Chicken:: Set your Instant Pot to the sauté setting and heat the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.

2. 2

   Deglaze the Pot:: Add the minced garlic to the Instant Pot and sauté briefly until fragrant. Pour in a splash of chicken broth and deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits.

3. 3

   Add Pasta:: Break the fettuccine in half and place it in the Instant Pot. Pour in the remaining chicken broth, ensuring that the pasta is submerged.

4. 4

   Place Chicken on Top:: Lay the seared chicken breasts on top of the pasta.

5. 5

   Cook on High Pressure:: Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. After cooking, allow for a natural release for 5 minutes, followed by a quick release of any remaining pressure.

6. 6

   Make Alfredo Sauce:: Remove the chicken breasts and set the Instant Pot back to sauté mode. Add the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and milk to the pasta, stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.

7. 7

   Slice the Chicken:: While the sauce is cooking, slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips.

8. 8

   Serve:: Serve the creamy fettuccine Alfredo topped with the sliced chicken and garnished with fresh parsley.
