Making Chicken Alfredo in an instant pot is quick and easy.

Season the chicken breasts with the garlic powder, onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper.
1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Add the oil to the Instant Pot and press the Sauté button.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Once the oil is heated, add the chicken breasts, cooking them for a few minutes on each side until browned. If needed, do this in batches adding more oil if necessary.
Remove the chicken from the pot and place onto a plate.
Add the chicken broth, water, and ½ teaspoon salt. Break the pasta noodles in half, and add them to the pot, stirring to ensure the pasta is completely submerged in the liquid. Add the chicken back to the pot and place it on top of the pasta.
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 3½ cups water, 1 pound dry fettuccine pasta
Press the Cancel button. Then, press the Manual button and set the timer for 6 minutes.
When the cook time is complete, immediately release the steam.
Remove the chicken breasts and place on a cutting board and slice.
Pour the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and garlic into the Instant Pot and stir.
1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves garlic
Let the pasta sit for a few minutes to allow the excess liquid to absorb.
Serve the pasta with sliced chicken on top and sprinkle with fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese.
Chopped fresh parsley

If you like spicy foods, you can use Cajun seasoning on your chicken to prepare a Cajun version of this Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo.
Save some of your Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top of the pasta when serving it.
If you don’t have fettuccine pasta, you can still make this meal with any other type of pasta, such as linguine or angel hair.
