aws cloudformation describe-stack-resources --physical-resource-id i-xxxxxxxxxx

Replace i-xxxxxxxxxx by your instance-id or any other physical resource id in general.

--physical-resource-id (string): The name or unique identifier that corresponds to a physical instance ID of a resource supported by AWS CloudFormation. For example, for an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance, PhysicalResourceId corresponds to the InstanceId . You can pass the EC2 InstanceId to DescribeStackResources to find which stack the instance belongs to and what other resources are part of the stack. Required: Conditional. If you do not specify PhysicalResourceId , you must specify StackName . Default: There is no default value.
