Easy Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo recipe! This fast pasta dinner is cooked entirely in the electric pressure cooker for a simple, easy cleanup dinner!

The Instant Pot is such a great way to make one-pot dishes – like this Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo! The chicken, pasta, and sauce all cook right in the same pot, which makes it easy to make and easy to clean up.

Another great thing about this pasta is that it’s rich and creamy and flavorful. I often pass on Alfredo sauce because it can lack flavor.

This sauce, though, gets great flavor from the seasonings, garlic, and Parmesan so it tastes like more than just cream. It was so good that my family was all calling dibs on the leftovers!
