I am a fan of thick stews and soups, so this dish is perfect! It's similar to a creamy broccoli soup. I replaced white rice with riced cauliflower for my low-carb-loving family. —Kim Banick, Turner, Oregon

Ingredients

1 jar (15 ounces) Alfredo sauce with mushrooms
1/2 cup prepared pesto
1 tablespoon canola oil
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
8 ounces whole cremini mushrooms, quartered
1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli spears
1 package (10 ounces) frozen riced cauliflower
Optional: Shredded Parmesan and fresh basil leaves

Directions

Combine Alfredo sauce and pesto in medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker and adjust for medium heat; add oil. When oil is hot, add chicken; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, 2-3 minutes. Press cancel.
Layer mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower and reserved sauce in pressure cooker. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 3 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure.
Stir to combine. If desired, top with Parmesan and basil leaves.

Test Kitchen tips

If you can't find Alfredo sauce with mushrooms, regular Alfredo sauce is a great substitute.

Save prep time by asking your butcher to cut the chicken for you. Most are happy to do it and it doesn't cost extra.
