Instant Pot White Chicken Lasagna

I saw a slow cooker version of this white chicken lasagna online and wanted to see how it would fare in the Instant Pot. I switched a few things around and it turned out beautifully.

It’s more of an Alfredo pasta dish that uses lasagna noodles rather than a traditional type of lasagna that has the ricotta, mozzarella and layers. Everyone in my house loved it and I loved that it was really an easy dump and go type of meal!

I used a jar of Bertolli Creamy Basil Alfredo…it caught my eye in the aisle at the grocery store. I think it added a little more flavor than a basic alfredo sauce. But really you can use whatever jar of sauce you want.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?

To make Instant Pot White Chicken Lasagna I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly.  It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

Description

A cheater, dump and go lasagna recipe with Alfredo sauce, lasagna noodles, chunks of chicken, spinach and Parmesan cheese. This recipe is made quickly in your electric pressure cooker.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces uncooked chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces (or you can use 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken)
  • 8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles (about 9 noodles), broken up into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 2/3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 (15 oz) jar Bertolli Creamy Basil Alfredo (or another jarred Alfredo sauce of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Add ingredients: Add chicken, noodles, broth, salt, basil, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the Instant Pot. Give a quick stir. Try to cover the pasta as much as possible with the broth. Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the noodles. 
  2. Pressure cook: Cover your Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes (for al dente pasta) or 5 minutes (for softer pasta). When the time is up let the pot sit there for 10 minutes (L0:10) and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  3. Add in cheese/spinach: Stir the pasta. Add in the Parmesan and the spinach. Stir until the spinach is wilted.
  4. Serve: Scoop the pasta onto plates and serve.

Notes

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. You can makes this in your 3 quart Instant Pot too. Halve all the ingredients and pressure cook for 5 minutes. If you have an 8 quart pot increase the chicken broth to 2 cups and pressure cook for just 4 minutes.

    Hello, I would like to use uncooked Italian sausage links cut into bite sizes pieces, what do you think the cooking time would change to – if it would change it?

    If I’m using cooked shredded chicken, do I need to change anything in the recipe? Will it overcook if I put it prior to cooking?

    Excellent and easy. We finished the pot between two adults. I made my own Alfredo sauce in the pot first then poured it over and it was perfect other than being a bit salty, so next time I would salt less and add more once it’s done and I can taste it. I added frozen spinach and frozen corn in before starting the pressure and it came out just fine. Will definitely be making again.

      I bet your homemade sauce was better than jarred! Good idea!

    First time Instant Pot user and I made this recipe. I have three boys (four if you count my husband, which I usually do because he is the biggest kid of them all..ha) ages: 1, 3, & 13 and they all loved this. Everyone went back for seconds. I will have to double the batch next time.

    Thanks for sharing! I look forward to trying the rest of you recipes.

    Hello, Karen
    This lasagna would be really good with some roasted butternut squash in it too. I make a white lasagna like this with the roasted squash and onions together, and the spinach too. It is amazing and even my 8 yr old will eat butternut that way.

    Can you use frozen chicken in this recipe and cut up or shred the chicken afterwards?

    Reply
    • Karen says

      February 15, 2019 at 12:58 pm

      If it’s whole chicken breasts they won’t cook at the same rate as the pasta. That’s why I have it cut into bite size pieces so that the pasta and chicken cook at the same rate.

    Are the lasagna noodles the “no boil” ones or regular? Does it matter?

    Reply
    • Karen says

      February 14, 2019 at 2:02 pm

      I used regular lasagna noodles. I bet if you used the no boil you would need less liquid and possibly less time.
