Notes

For best results, it is important to rinse and drain the rice before adding it to the Instant Pot. This helps to remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky. If you prefer your broccoli to be softer, you can add it to the Instant Pot at the same time as the chicken. However, this may result in slightly overcooked broccoli.
