Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta in Instant Pot.
Step 1
Start by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function and adding a generous pat of butter.
Step 2
As the butter melts and fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma, toss in the chicken pieces along with some chopped onion.
Step 3
Sauté everything together for about five minutes, allowing the chicken to develop a lovely golden-brown color.
Step 4
Next, add minced garlic to the mix and sauté for an additional minute until the garlic becomes fragrant, filling your space with its irresistible scent.
Step 5
Once that’s done, press 'Cancel' to stop the sautéing process.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to bring everything together! Stir in the dry penne pasta, followed by chicken stock, a splash of fresh lemon juice, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 7
Don’t forget to scrape the bottom of the pot to release those delicious browned bits that add so much flavor.
Step 8
Close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot, then set it to high pressure and cook for five minutes.
Step 9
Keep in mind that it will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up, so be patient—good things come to those who wait! Once the cooking time is up, carefully use the quick-release method to release the pressure.
Step 10
Unlock and remove the lid, and prepare for the magic! Stir in heavy cream along with Romano and Parmesan cheese, watching as the sauce transforms into a creamy delight.
Step 11
Let the pasta sit for about three minutes to thicken the sauce, and then get ready to serve a comforting, flavorful dish that’s sure to impress! Enjoy every bite of your delicious creation!.
