Pressure Cooker - Chicken and Brown Rice
Tried this recipe 2/13/2018 and the kids really liked it. It needed a little more flavor, and I should cut the carrots bigger so they aren't so soft next time.
Ingredients
- 1 medium – onion
- 3 clove – garlic
- 2 cup – carrots, baby
- 2 cup – mushrooms, brown, Italian, or Crimini
- 2 cup – brown rice, raw
- 1 tablespoon – olive oil
- 2 1/4 cup – chicken broth, low-sodium
- 2 pound – chicken thigh, boneless, skinless
- 1/8 teaspoon – salt
- 1/8 teaspoon – black pepper, ground
- 1 can (10.75 oz) – soup, cream of chicken, canned, condensed
- 2 tablespoon – Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon – thyme, fresh
Directions
- Push "saute" button on Instant Pot. While it heats, dice onion, mince garlic, and chop veggies. Rinse and drain rice.
- When pot says "HOT," add oil to pot and saute onions for 3 minutes. Then press "cancel" to turn the saute setting off.
- Mix veggies, garlic, rice, and broth into the pot. Place chicken on top, salt and pepper, then cover with cream of chicken soup (homemade is preferable) and Worchestershire sauce. Place 8-10 small sprigs of thyme on top. NOTE: chicken breasts also work well, just make sure to cut them in half so they're not too thick.
- Seal the Instant Pot, close the vent, and press "manual." Use the "pressure" button to toggle to high pressure. For brown rice: set the time for 25 minutes. For white rice: set the timer for 20 minutes. After 10 seconds the pot should register that it has begun the pressurizing process.
- Once the pot is done cooking open the vent (keep your hand out of the path of the steam) to quick release the pressure. This should take about 2 minutes. Once pressure has released completely (the pin drops) the pot is safe to open.
- Remove thyme sprigs (keeping leaves when possible). Stir pot to shred chicken and mix in any extra liquid. Serve warm.
