Set the Instant Pot to the sauté mode and heat olive oil.

Season chicken breasts with kosher salt and black pepper. Brown the chicken in the Instant Pot for 2 minutes per side. Transfer the browned chicken onto a plate and set aside.
3
Melt butter in the Instant Pot, then add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4
Stir in heavy cream, while scraping the bottom of the Instant Pot to release any browned bits from the chicken. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5
Add chicken broth, kosher salt, and ground nutmeg to the Instant Pot. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
6
Break the dry fettuccine noodles in half and place them in the Instant Pot, ensuring they are fully submerged. Add the browned chicken breasts on top.
7
Secure the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
8
After cooking, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 8-10 minutes. Then, carefully release any remaining pressure by turning the valve to venting.

Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot, slice it, and return it to the pot.

Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil, allowing the sauce to thicken as it cools before serving.
