    Instant Pot Chicken & Sausage Alfredo

    Creamy and full of flavor!
    Prep Time10 minutes
    Cook Time15 minutes
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 2 large boneless chicken breasts
    • 2 links smoked pre-cooked sausage
    • 1 Tbsp olive oil
    • 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
    • 2 tsp garlic powder
    • 16 oz box small shell pasta
    • 3 cups chicken stock
    • 2 cups heavy cream
    • 1 cup Parmesan cheese
    • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    • Salt and pepper
    • Side: salad

    Instructions

    • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. Slice the smoked sausage.
    • Add the chicken pieces with the olive oil, Cajun seasoning and garlic powder into the Instant Pot insert. Using the Saute mode of your Instant Pot, saute for 4 to 5 minutes, tossing often. Press Cancel twice to turn it off.
    • Add in the sliced sausage, small shell pasta and then the chicken stock. Gently stir and get all of the pasta to be "underwater." Add a little more water, if needed, to get the pasta to all be covered by the liquid.
    • Set to Sealing.
    • Cooking on Manual, High, for 7 minutes.
    • Let naturally release at least 5 minutes, then release remaining pressure.
    • Give the cooked pasta, chicken and sausage a gentle stir.
    • Then stir in the cream, Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella. Stir through and keep on warm mode until ready to serve.
    • Prepare the salad.
    • Serve Instant Pot Chicken & Sausage Alfredo Skillet with side salad.

      Hi Erin!

      I totally love everything 5 Dollar Dinners!!! This is a life saver for me. I don’t have an Instant Pot so I was wondering how to adapt the recipes to use without an Instant Pot? Thank you in advance for your response.
