Cook Time

The cooking time for this recipe is around 20 minutes. The Instant Pot takes about 10 minutes to come to pressure, and the cooking process takes another 10 minutes. After that, you can release the pressure and let the dish rest for a few minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup long-grain rice, rinsed and drained
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 frozen chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Turn on the Instant Pot and select the "Saute" function. Add the olive oil, onion, garlic, carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Add the rice, chicken broth, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is combined.
  3. Add the frozen chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture, making sure they are not touching the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  4. Close the Instant Pot lid and make sure the valve is set to "Sealing". Select the "Pressure Cook" function and set the timer for 10 minutes.
  5. After the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then use the quick-release function to release the remaining pressure.
  6. Remove the chicken breasts from the Instant Pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the Instant Pot and stir to combine.
  7. Add the chopped parsley and stir to combine.
  8. Serve hot.

Notes

  • If the rice is not fully cooked after the 10-minute cooking time, add a splash of chicken broth and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the "Saute" function.
  • You can use any type of rice for this recipe, but adjust the cooking time according to the rice's package instructions.
  • You can use any vegetables you like in this recipe, such as peas, corn, or green beans.
