CHICKEN AND RICE INSTANT POT RECIPES

Steps:

• Add rinsed rice and water to the pot, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 4 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Fluff the rice with a fork, remove to a separate bowl and cover loosely with foil. Rinse the pot liner (just get any stuck rice grains out--you don’t need to wash it out completely).
• Add toasted sesame oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select CANCEL and then the SAUTE function.
• When oil gets hot, add onion to the pot and saute 2 minutes.
• Add peas, carrots, chicken and butter to the pot and cook and stir for another 2 minutes, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Push ingredients to the side of the pot and add beaten eggs. Cook, stirring constantly, until the egg begins to set, then fold into the vegetable and chicken mixture until egg is cooked through.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then fold in the cooked rice, soy sauce and sesame seeds. Adjust seasonings to taste.
• Serve warm with sliced green onions and additional sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Layer the chicken, onion powder, rice and 1/4 cup cheese in a 6 quart Instant Pot®. Pour the broth over the cheese and spoon the soup on top (the order is important, so don't stir until after the cooking is done).
• Lock the lid and close the pressure release valve. Pressure cook on High pressure, setting the timer to 6 minutes (timer will begin counting down once pressure is reached- it takes about 10 minutes). When done, press Cancel and use the quick release method to release the pressure.
• Add the broccoli and stir well, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Close the lid and let stand for 10 minutes or until the rice is tender and the broccoli is tender-crisp. Season to taste.
