Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice

Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice is one of the best one-pot meals you can prepare in the Instant Pot.

My husband loves Chinese food, and I think when I was dating him, he had Chinese food every night. Today, I made a great pot of Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice. It was so easy to make and absolutely delicious.

While I like Chinese food too, it’s not too good for the waistline or the pocketbook. So, I started experimenting with making Instant Pot Chinese food because I love my Instant Pot, and I love homemade Chinese Food.

While I made this at my house, it has all of the traditional ingredients for take-out Chinese Fried Rice, including the rice, eggs, carrots, peas. The elements are all there, and it takes less time than going to the Chinese restaurant down the street.

This is one of my son’s favorite lunch meals; it is easy to create, right in your Instant Pot. Reasons why you will love this meal, 

• Easy
• Delicious
• Faster Than Grabbing Chinese-Take Out From the local Chinese Food Restaurant

How To Make Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice

Ingredients:

• Diced Boneless Chicken Breast
• Olive Oil

Rice:

• Diced Onions
• Minced Garlic
• Egg
• Basmati Rice
• Soy Sauce
• Chicken Broth
• Frozen Vegetables

Step-By-Step Instructions

Put your olive oil in the Instant Pot, then hit the saute setting and let the oil heat up. Then brown your chicken on all sides. Be careful not to let it burn. If you need to add water to cook it, add a couple of tablespoons to stick. Remove when cooked, and place it on a plate. In your Instant Pot, place the oil, then press the saute setting. When the oil heats up, add the onion and garlic, saute for about 1 minute.

Then add the egg, and scramble it for another minute. Add the rice, soy sauce, chicken broth, and mix well. Set the rice option for 12 minutes, making sure that the vent is closed. When the rice is done, release the steam. Remove the lid, mix well, and then add the frozen vegetables and cooked chicken. Mix well and enjoy!

Tips For Making The Best Dish Of Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice-

1. Rinse The Rice: This will help remove a lot of the starch, which will help your rice dish not clump together during the Instant Pot Process.

2. Use either basmati rice, jasmine rice, or long-grain white rice. You really want to avoid using brown rice for this dish since it takes longer to pressure cook brown rice. 

4. Add Enough Liquid: Ensure that the rice is underneath the water before you start to pressure cook. Otherwise, your rice will dry out.
