Ingredients
  • 1 lb. fettuccine
  • Chicken broth, as needed
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1½ lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 cup pesto
  • Parmesan, as needed
  • Basil leaves, as needed
Instructions
  • Place the fettuccine noodles in the inner pot so they lay flat on the bottom. Break the noodles in half if needed.
  • Pour enough chicken broth, or water, into the pot so the noodles are just covered. Add in the salt. Stir to ensure all the noodles are coated.
  • Add the cubed chicken on top of the noodles. Sprinkle the black pepper. Do not mix.
  • Pressure Cook on High for 4 minutes. Quick-release any remaining pressure, careful to watch for any pasta foam coming from the release valve. If so, close the valve for 30 seconds and then continue releasing pressure.
  • Drain all reserved liquid from the pot, leaving the pasta and the chicken inside.
  • Add the pesto and stir to combine. Add salt to taste.
  • Sprinkle each serving with parmesan, a few basil leaves, and extra pesto if needed. Enjoy!
