Instant pot chicken alfredo

This recipe is made in your electric pressure cooker instant pot chicken alfredo minutes! Instant Pot Creamy Basil Chicken and Tortellini Sometimes I get inspiration for new recipes at the grocery store.

I saw something in the frozen aisle called creamy basil chicken with tortellini and it sounded so good. I knew that the frozen dinner version would be mediocre at best so I got to work on making a homemade version that would be a dinner delight. Making this instant pot creamy basil chicken and tortellini in the electric pressure cooker is a bit tricky because the chicken requires a different cooking time than the tortellini. So I decided to pressure cook the chicken first and then add in the bag of frozen tortellini later and use a zero pressure cook time for the pasta. Although it is a bit of a bummer that the pot has to come to pressure twice.

Pasta in a creamy sauce and chicken breasts is a pretty neutral food for most palettes. This is pretty much an all in one meal. Serve this with a green salad and dinner is done. The flavors also remind me of tomato basil parmesan soup. Tortellini: I used a 19 ounce bag of frozen cheese tortellini.
