Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.

Stir in heavy cream, Romano and Parmesan cheeses. Let the pasta sit in the pot until the sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.
