Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with Broccoli is dinner in just one pot! Creamy Alfredo sauce with chicken,fettuccine and broccoli all cooked in your instant pot.
If you are brand new to using your Instant Pot…this recipe is a great place to start! It’s really simple and makes your whole dinner in just one pot. It doesn’t get much easier…A few simple ingredients and dinner in less than an hour. 👍
Ingredients Needed:
- Chicken
- Alfredo sauce
- Broccoli
- Garlic
- Fettuccine Noodles ( dry and broken into pieces)
- Water
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Dried parsley
- Oil
Chicken: I used boneless chicken breast that is cut into about 1 inch in size. You will need one large breast or two medium size.
Can I Use Chicken Thighs or Tenders? Yes. If you have boneless ( and skinless) chicken thighs or tenders on hand, you can use them instead. I would reduce your cooking time by a minute.
Alfredo Sauce: Go with your favorite jarred version or make it homemade.
Broccoli: Fresh or frozen will both work for this dish. Simply steam your broccoli for about 3-5 minutes before adding it to the finished dish.
How to Make:
- Press the “saute” function on your Instant Pot. Add in oil, garlic and chicken pieces. Cook the pieces for 3-5 minutes or until no longer pink.
- Turn off the “saute” function and add in dry, broken fettuccine noodles.
- Pour in the water and Alfredo sauce. Be sure to cover all the noodles and chicken.
- Cover and cook on high pressure. Do a quick release and remove the lid.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, steamed broccoli and parsley.
- Let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

@Erin Table for seven: You absolutely can double the recipe without any problem. Cook times will remain the same, the only caution is to make sure the chicken is properly sauteed. I have 4 grown boys at home, ranging from 24 to 29, I have to double everything!
This is a wonderful recipe, inexpensive and keeps in the fridge for about 5 days (in normal homes without 5 grown men eating 2 dinners per day!)

Hi Julianne! Honestly, I haven't double this recipe, so, I can't say for certain. If you do, please let me know how it turns out.

This was delicious!! I used simple truth egg noodles and simple truth Alfredo sauce. I also used Frozen broccoli which I put in with the other stuff (not at the end). I Also added cajon seasoning!

I have an Instant Pot Duo. I made this as stated and after 3 minutes at high pressure, the noodles weren't cooked. I added more time, hope they turn out.
