Instant Pot Chicken and Rice
Description
Instant Pot Chicken and Rice is one of my favorite Instant Pot One-pot Meals. There is nothing better than a perfectly cooked and seasoned chicken and rice dish!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups diced chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 medium onion, peeled and diced
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons garlic
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 1/2 cup long grain rice
- 2 cups chicken broth or stock, or chicken stock
Instructions
- First, cut your chicken into 1/2 inch pieces. Then season both sides of the chicken.
- Then pour the olive oil into your Instant Pot and press the saute button. Wait for a minute until the oil is heated, and then add your seasoned chicken.
- Saute the chicken until it starts to change color to show that it’s cooking. It will not be cooked through. You are really just trying to get a nice outside on the chicken.
- Then add the onion and garlic, cooking for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion shows that it’s started to wilt.
- Add the chicken broth, peas, pepper, and rice mix well.
- Then add the lid to the Instant Pot.
- Set the time for 10 minutes on manual high pressure.
- Make sure the vent is sealed.
- Let it naturally release, mix everything together, and plate to serve.
- Plate, serve, and enjoy!
Equipment
- Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, or Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker
