Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Turn on the Instant Pot and select the Sauté function. Once hot, add the olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the pot and season with thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
  3. Add the rice and chicken broth to the pot and stir to combine.
  4. Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position.
  5. Select the Manual or Pressure Cook function and set the timer for 10 minutes.
  6. Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes.
  7. After 10 minutes, release any remaining pressure manually by turning the valve to the venting position.
  8. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.
  9. Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them with two forks.
  10. Serve the chicken over the rice and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer brown rice, you can substitute it for the white rice, but you will need to adjust the cooking time to 22 minutes.
  • For added flavor, you can use chicken broth instead of water to cook the rice.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a larger crowd.
