INSTANT POT® CHICKEN ALFREDO



Instant Pot® Chicken Alfredo image

I don't claim to be Italian, and I'm sure many Italian nonnas would cringe at a pressure-cooked chicken Alfredo, but this recipe is kept simple to ensure the integrity of the classic dish. Please note this recipe uses heavy whipping cream, and I cannot guarantee the same success with any other liquid. I recommend Savory Spice Shop® cantanzaro herbs instead of Italian herbs. This uses an elevated steam rack, which can be found on Amazon.

1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups penne pasta
16 ounces heavy whipping cream

This is my wife's favorite dish. We both love spicy food, and the pineapple adds a great sweet element. Everyone I've made this dish for has enjoyed it. Possible toppings include shredded Parmesan cheese or shredded toasted coconut.

JERK CHICKEN ALFREDO



Jerk Chicken Alfredo image

The trick to jerk chicken is nailing the flavor and consistency of the marinade. It should be paste-y, but not too thick and not too thin. This recipe starts with making the marinade, proceeds with cooking the chicken, and then mixes the chicken into a delicious Alfredo sauce to give it a Caribbean flavor. Top on pasta and you have a fantastic meal!

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 24

4 large green onions, white parts and some tender green tops, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 lime, zested
1 teaspoon green chile pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 splash lime juice
½ teaspoon whole allspice berries
½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
½ teaspoon yellow mustard
½ teaspoon ground thyme
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
⅛ teaspoon dried rosemary
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
16 ounces penne pasta
½ cup butter
milk
1 ½ cups finely shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Combine green onions, garlic, vegetable oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon zest, pepper flakes, salt, basil, lime juice, allspice berries, peppercorns, mustard, thyme, ginger, coriander, rosemary, and nutmeg in the bowl of a food processor; blend until a paste forms, scraping down the sides as necessary. Transfer jerk marinade to a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and mix well. Seal bag, and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning chicken in the bag periodically.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook penne in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and garlic, whisking constantly until cheese is completely melted and sauce is thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  • Cook chicken in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer chicken to the saucepan with the Alfredo sauce. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly to keep the sauce smooth and to incorporate the jerk seasoning into the Alfredo sauce. Serve over pasta.

Tips:

  • For the Best Flavor: Use a good quality jerk seasoning blend. You can make your own or buy a pre-made blend from the store.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Make Sure the Sauce is Creamy: Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. You can make your own or use a pre-made sauce from the store. If the sauce is too thick, add a little milk or cream.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken will start to dry out if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This Instant Pot Jerk Chicken Alfredo is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The jerk seasoning gives the chicken a flavorful crust, while the creamy Alfredo sauce is rich and decadent. Serve this dish with rice or pasta and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
