Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo

I don't know many people that don't like Alfredo sauce.  It is the Queen Mother of comfort food sauces in my book.  Since I am currently obsessed with my Instant Pot and saw that people actually cook pasta in it, I had to give it a try.  What I did I get?  Some of the most absolutely delicious Chicken Alfredo I've ever eaten!

In true pressure cooker fashion it was done in no time flat, and only required one pot to wash!  #Winning.

1 Pound Cellentani Noodles
1.5 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
4 Teaspoons Wildtree Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil
1 Tablespoon Wildtree California Style Garlic Pepper Blend
1/2 Cup Parmigiano-Reggiano (fresh, grated)
1/2 cup White Wine
6 Tablespoons Butter
1 Cup Fat Free or 2% Milk
1 Cup Wildtree Alfredo Extraordinaire
Water

Drizzle Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil on both sides of Chicken.  Generously sprinkle California Style Garlic Pepper Blend on both sides.

Turn Instant Pot to Saute mode and add 2 teaspoons of Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil to the pan.  Once display reads "hot" add chicken breasts. Sear on both sides and remove from pan.

Deglaze pan with white wine, stirring until you get all the tasty bits off the bottom.  You want to cook as much liquid out as possible because once you are using pressure cooking mode it will not cook the alcohol out of the wine.

Place your trivet into the pressure cooker and add 2 cups of water.  Place the chicken on the trivet, close the lid, and set to manual mode for 7 minutes. 

Once done let the pressure come down naturally for 5 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure.  Move chicken to a plate to rest after checking that it has come to a safe temp, which is 165 F.

add your pound of pasta and cover until it is just all barely under water.  Do not take out the water that was left from cooking the chicken.  It is going to add tons of flavor to your pasta!

Set the pressure cooker to manual for 5 minutes.  Carefully release the pressure a little at a time to make sure no foam comes up through your release valve.  Place pasta in a colander in case you have any extra liquid. 

Turn you pot back to saute mode and add butter and milk.  Stir to make sure you don't scorch it, and once the butter is melted turn the pot off.  Add the Wildtree Alfredo Extraordinaire and whisk until it is all incorporated.  Return Pasta to the Instant Pot and  add the Parmigiano-Reggiano.  Stir to combined.

Secure lid back on the Instant Pot.  Slice your perfect chicken however you'd like it.

Remove lid.  You can either just add the Chicken to the pot and mix to combined or place the chicken on top of each plate of pasta.  It is tender and juicy and the flavor is out of this world!  I didn't even add salt and I'm a salt fanatic.
