Recipe Tips

  • To prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the Instant Pot, make sure to stir it well after adding the chicken broth.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a slurry of cornstarch and water to the pot after adding the heavy cream and cheese.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
