Gluten Free Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo

Total time45 min

Prep time10 min

Cook time25 min

Golden-seared chicken breasts get pressure-cooked right on top of a creamy, garlicky sauce, so every bite of pasta soaks up all that flavor without a single extra pot to wash. The Instant Pot does the heavy lifting here, building a rich broth-and-cream base studded with minced garlic before the noodles go in to cook directly in that liquid. Freshly grated Parmesan melts in at the end, turning glossy and thick as it clings to every strand, and a scatter of fresh parsley brightens the whole dish right before serving. Tender, juicy shredded chicken folds back through the pasta so each portion gets plenty of protein alongside all that velvety sauce. It's a fast, fuss-free dinner that comes together mostly hands-off, and it's a solid pick to keep on repeat in a gluten free kitchen.

1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz fettuccine, broken in half
1 ½ cups freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pat the chicken breasts dry and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides.
2
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (Normal). Add the butter and olive oil and heat until the butter is melted and the foam subsides. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 3 minutes per side, until golden on the outside. Transfer the chicken to a plate — it will not be cooked through at this point.
