Recipe Tips

To make this recipe even easier, you can use frozen chicken breasts instead of fresh. Just be sure to add a few extra minutes to the cook time to account for the frozen chicken. You can also use brown rice instead of white rice, but you will need to increase the cook time to 22 minutes. Finally, if you prefer your broccoli to be more tender, you can add it to the Instant Pot before cooking instead of after. Simply layer it on top of the chicken and rice mixture, and cook for 8 minutes on high pressure followed by a quick release.
