Instant pot creamy alfredo pasta with chicken and broccoli. This set-and-forget recipe is a family favorite, no leftovers guaranteed!

Get excited for this mind-blowing CREAMIEST instant pot Alfredo pasta with chicken and broccoli. This full recipe is an extension of my original Creamy Alfredo Sauce recipe which has been a favorite at my house for the past two years. BEST thing I ever did! The kids never get sick of it and there is rarely any leftovers.

With my handy-dandy jar of Alfredo Sauce I tried many variations of pasta and veggies, with and without protein, baked and stove-top, but this IP PASTA-CHICKEN-BROCCOLI is by large a winner. This is also a win for me because it’s a complete meal, meaning there is carbs, protein and veggies, done effortlessly in one pot.

This Instant Pot Alfredo Pasta is done in three easy steps. Like super easy, I promise! Whenever I hear the word ‘steps’ I instantly decide that it’s complicated but I promise, this is not the case here. Let’s get to it!

step 1. sauté the chicken

Because we know that it takes much longer to cook chicken than pasta, we are going to give the chicken a head start by sautéing with fragrant shallots, herbs and spices. The tiny cubes of chicken also helps to reduce the cooking time.

1. Add EVOO
2. Add chicken (cubed)
3. Add shallots (minced)
4. Add the herbs, spices and season with salt and pepper to taste

Cook for about 10-12 minutes stirring often, until the chicken starts to brown.

step 2. cook the pasta

1. Add pasta (any shape)
2. Add chicken broth
3. Give it a good mix
4. Cover the pot and seal
5. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes
6. When done, quick release all pressure.

3. Add all the ingredients for the Alfredo sauce
4. Using a wooden spoon, stir often to help dissolve the butter and cream cheese.
5. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring often.
