Follow The Directions

01

Step
6 mins

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot), add butter, and select Saute function. When butter melts, add chicken and onion and saute until chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more. Push Cancel to end Saute function. (Approx. 6 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Add dry pasta, chicken stock, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; stir with a wooden or plastic spoon, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. (Approx. 2 minutes)

03

Step
15 mins

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. (Approx. 15 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. (Approx. 5 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Stir in heavy cream, Romano and Parmesan cheeses. Let the pasta sit in the pot until the sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes. (Approx. 3 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to deglaze the pot after sauteing the chicken and onions.
Fresh herbs like parsley or basil, stirred in at the end, will elevate the dish with vibrant aromatics.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the pasta after releasing the pressure.
