Ingredients (18)

  • 24 oz skinless boneless chicken breast
  • 4 oz fettuccine uncooked
  • 8 oz white mushrooms
  • 4 oz onions finely chopped
  • 2 oz green peas
  • 1 oz parmesan grated
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp parsley finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Place 14 oz chicken in a bowl along with 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Rub the chicken to season it thoroughly.

2

Select the “sauté” mode on the Instant Pot and heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the chicken and sear for 10 minutes (5 minutes per side) or until both sides are golden.

3

Add 1/2 tbsp butter, 8 oz mushrooms, 2 tsp garlic, and 4 oz onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Then remove everything and set it all aside.

4

Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/2 cup milk to the pot and scrape the bottom to release any browned bits. Add 4 oz pasta. Insert the steaming rack that came with the Instant Pot and place the chicken on top of the rack. Select “meat stew” and cook for 7 minutes.

5

Set the chicken aside and remove the steaming rack. Add your cooked mushrooms, 2 oz green peas, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1 oz parmesan to cook with the noodles for 2 minutes.

6

Cut the chicken into slices. Plate the noodles, place the sliced chicken on top, and sprinkle with 1 tbsp parsley to serve.
