Instant Pot CHICKEN ALFREDO Recipe| Healthy One Pot Meal - 30 Minutes

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: Nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and lower in calories.

Cut the chicken thighs into 1-2 inch cubes using scissors directly in the Instant Pot.

Add the whole wheat linguini, breaking it in half and layering it crisscross to prevent sticking.

Pour in 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.

Add vegetable stock (diluted from organic bouillon cubes) to the pot.

Sprinkle in half a teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste without stirring the mixture.

Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to 'stewing' or 'manual' mode, adjusting the timer to 8 minutes.

After cooking, perform a quick release by turning the valve to venting.

Open the lid carefully, away from the steam, and stir the contents.

Mix 1 cup of milk with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a separate bowl, stirring with a fork to avoid lumps, then pour into the pot.

Add half a cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic to the mixture.

Stir in 3 cups of frozen peas without defrosting them.

Close the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken and absorb flavors.

If the mixture is too liquidy, press 'saute' and let it bubble for 1 minute to thicken.
