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 to experiment 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

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 all clump together, during the Instant Pot Process.

2. Use either basmati rice, jasmine rice, or long-grain white rice. This is one dish that you really want to avoid using brown rice since it takes longer to pressure cook brown rice. 

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