Ingredients

2 Tbsp butter
1 small onion diced
4 cloves garlic minced
½ cup chicken broth
½ tsp garlic powder
pepper to taste
½ tsp salt
8 oz mushrooms sliced
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut each breast in half lengthwise
1 cup half and half
2 Tbsp flour
½ cup parmesan cheese
3 oz spinach coarsely chopped
salt and freshly ground pepper
10 oz fettuccine noodles or linguine noodles, uncooked **see note

Instructions

Turn your Instant Pot to sauté. Add in the butter and onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is tender. Add in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Add the chicken broth, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Stir to combine. Add the mushrooms and chicken.
Place the lid and make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set it to the manual/pressure cook button for 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions.
When the pressure cooker finishes cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Then manually vent to remove any remaining pressure.
Place the chicken on a platter and loosely cover with foil. Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Microwave the half-and-half in a microwave-safe bowl for 45 seconds. Whisk the flour into the half-and-half until it’s smooth. Then whisk the mixture into the Instant Pot. This will thicken the sauce in a few minutes. Add in the Parmesan cheese. Add in the spinach. Salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. To serve, add some of the pasta to a plate and top with chicken. Serves 6.

Notes

If you want to cook pasta at the same time and in the Instant Pot, you can. Just get a pan that will fit inside your Instant Pot* and fill it with 3 cups or water. Then break the fettuccine or linguine noodles to fit inside the pan (see my note below). Carefully place the pan on top of the chicken silicone sling or metal steam rack with handles included with most Instant Pots. You can also make a foil sling. You just need something to aid with removing the pot of pasta from the inner pot.
