Preparation Steps
Turn on the Instant Pot and set it to sauté mode. Add a splash of oil, then add the chicken and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
Break the fettuccine in half and layer on top of the chicken mixture. Do not stir.
Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to pressure cook on high for 6 minutes. Once done, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
Open the lid, stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of white wine before sealing the Instant Pot.
