Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo Recipe – delicious creamy chicken alfredo right from the Instant Pot for almost no cleanup!
This alfredo is super simple, and designed to be quick from start, easy to clean up, and full of flavor.
We love making one pot dishes – and while I thought it sounded weird originally, I am always blown away by how delicious pasta comes out in an instant pot.
Cooking the pasta in the Instant Pot with the alfredo sauce helps the sauce emulsify, and keeps it creamy, velvety, and delicious – similar to our Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs.
Complete your easy dinner with some Texas toast, garlic knots, Pan Fried Asparagus, Cherry Danish Cheesecake Bars, or Easy Apple Sopapilla Cheesecake!

At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!

What Chicken To Use
This recipe calls for chicken breast, but you can also use leftover chicken, or pulled rotisserie chicken.
Cut chicken breasts into 2″ chunks, and remove any fat or gristle.
If you prefer dark meat, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2″ chunks.
Cooking Pasta In An Instant Pot
After cooking the chicken, add the chicken stock, heavy cream, dried pasta, and salt.
Snap dry pasta in half.
Add the lid to the Instant Pot and ensure the valve is in the sealing position.
Don’t stir pasta – it helps the texture and will come out better without stirring.
Set the timer for 5 minutes.
When the Instant Pot has finished cooking, release the pressure manually by switching the valve to the “venting” position. Be careful– the valve will steam and may splatter.
What to Serve With Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo
This easy pasta pairs perfectly with lots of dishes – but we love to serve creamy, rich pastas with easy vegetable dishes that don’t weigh you down but deliver on flavor.
