Description

The best chicken fried rice is always the one that is made fresh and from scratch. However, who has time for all that? Not me, that's for sure! That's why I love using my Instant Pot to make this dish. It takes just a few minutes and tastes amazing. Plus, it's a great way to use up any leftover chicken or vegetables you might have. Give it a try - I promise you won't be disappointed!

Ingredients 

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 1 1/ cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup Basmati rice
  • 1 cup frozen vegetables, mixed

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, and saute for about 1 minute.
  • Then add the egg, and scramble it for another minute. Add the rice, soy sauce, and 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!
