Description

A delicious one-pot meal featuring chicken, rice, broccoli, and cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, cut into bite size chunks)
  • 3/4 cup onion (diced)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup white rice (long grain variety)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup broccoli (small fresh or frozen florets – optional)
  • 1 cup cheese (cheddar, shredded – optional)

Instructions

  1. Set pot to saute and add olive oil. Add diced chicken, garlic, and onions; cook until the outside of the meat is no longer pink.
  2. Turn pot off and add a bit of broth to scrape stuck-on meat off bottom of the pot (deglazing).
  3. Sprinkle in salt and pepper, then pour in the rest of the broth.
  4. Sprinkle in uncooked long grain rice and gently submerge into the liquid below. Cook on high pressure for 6 minutes, then naturally release steam for 1 minute.
  5. Release the rest of the pressure after that, lift lid, and place small diced broccoli florets with shredded cheese on top. Gently fluff and fold all ingredients together.
  6. Set lid on top and let it sit for 5 minutes so cheese will melt and broccoli warms enough to your liking.

Notes

  • Add more or less cheese according to preference.
  • For a spicier version, add chili flakes or diced jalapenos.
