Description
A quick and easy recipe for a comforting chicken and rice dish made in your Instant Pot.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, cut into bite-size chunks)
- 3/4 cup onion (diced)
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup white rice (long grain variety)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup broccoli (small fresh or frozen florets – optional)
- 1 cup cheese (cheddar, shredded – optional)
Instructions
- Set pot to saute and add olive oil. Add diced chicken, garlic, and onions, cook until the outside of the meat is no longer pink.
- Then turn pot off and add a bit of broth to scrape stuck-on meat off the bottom of the pot (deglazing).
- Sprinkle in salt and pepper, then pour in the rest of the broth.
- Sprinkle in uncooked long grain rice and gently submerge into liquid below.
- Cook on high pressure for 6 minutes, then naturally release steam for 1 minute.
- Release the rest of the pressure after that, lift lid, and place small diced broccoli florets with shredded cheese on top.
- Gently fluff and fold all ingredients together.
- Set lid on top and let it sit for 5 minutes so cheese will melt and broccoli warms enough to your liking.
Notes
- This dish is versatile; feel free to add your favorite vegetables.
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken before cooking.
