Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons salted butter
-
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 pound dry penne pasta
-
4 cups chicken stock
-
2 medium lemons, juiced
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ cup heavy whipping cream
-
¼ cup grated Romano cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
-
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot), add butter, and select Saute function. When butter melts, add chicken and onion and saute until chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more. Push Cancel to end Saute function.
-
Add dry pasta, chicken stock, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; stir with a wooden or plastic spoon, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
-
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
-
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
-
Stir in heavy cream, Romano and Parmesan cheeses. Let the pasta sit in the pot until the sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.

You can use margarine in place of butter.
