Ingredients
3 servings
- •1 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast
- •2 tablespoons butter, divided
- •1.5 teaspoons garlic salt, divided

- •1 clove garlic, minced
- •2 cups penne pasta
- •16 ounces heavy whipping cream
- •2.5 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Slice chicken breast into 3 thin filets. Sprinkle all sides with 1 teaspoon garlic salt and cantanzaro herbs.
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add chicken breasts and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Wipe out the pot. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pasta and stir to coat in butter. Pour in cream and stir to thoroughly combine with pasta.
- Place an elevated steamer rack inside the Instant Pot. Wrap chicken breasts in parchment paper and place on top of the steamer rack.
- Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove rack with chicken. Stir remaining garlic salt and Parmesan cheese into sauce.
- Divide pasta into 3 serving bowls and top each with 1 chicken breast filet. Top with additional Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
