It’s a true dump and go dinner recipe in the instant pot. One pot meals are a total Mom Win in my book.
Also, I can make this Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo quicker than I could go pick up take out.
Bonus: it is also much cheaper than you would pay at a restaurant…and it tastes better too!
How To Make The Best One Pot Chicken Alfredo
The key to the spectacular flavor is good ingredients.
Since it’s such a simple basic recipe, the ingredients really get a chance to shine.
Make sure you use fresh lemon and garlic. You want to use heavy cream, not half and half.
Yes, I know half and half is less calories/fat, but this is not a dish you make on a diet!!
You also want to make sure you buy a good quality parmesan cheese, the freshly grated kind in the refrigerated section, not the kind in a shaker can.
The last (optional) ingredient is the shredded chicken.
You can make your own shredded chicken or just buy a rotisserie chicken for an easier dinner.
You Can Customize This Alfredo Pasta Recipe To Fit Your Taste
If you are looking for a vegetarian dinner, you can absolutely skip the chicken and use vegetable broth.
Alternatively, you can top the Instant Pot Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp or steak once it’s done cooking!
It’s easy to make your own and adapt to whatever leftover meat you already have in the fridge.
I can’t wait for all of you to try this recipe for my Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo.
I have been working on this recipe for quite a few months and have had many friends and family test it!
It’s a winning recipe and I just know y’all are going to love it as much as we do!

This is my “go to” recipe for alfredo now. SO good and SO easy! My picky 8 year old requests this often!
Absolutely perfect! I was skeptical- Alfredo in an instant pot? Heck yeah! The lemon adds brightness and a bit of acid to cut the cream (I used half and half). The noodles were perfect and I cut in 3oz of cream cheese and a dash or two of cayenne for a bite. I baked lemon pepper chicken in the oven and this is my new go to. Yum!
It was wayyy too cheesy. I used shredded Parmesan from a bag since I’m definitely not grating that much. It was clumpy/string and just wat overpowering, not creamy like I had hoped. Maybe half that amount? But I can’t figure out how it wasn’t too cheesy for you??♀️
It turned out that way because you used shredded cheese and didn’t add it in slow enough. Try the grated cheese and stir in VERY slow!
I added a little more liquid, but very happy with the way it turned out! One pot/instant pot meals are my fav. Thank you for this!!
