Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is only 10 minutes. You'll need to chop up some broccoli and onion, and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Other than that, you'll just need to measure out the ingredients.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is 10 minutes under high pressure.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Turn on the Instant Pot and select the sauté function. Add the olive oil and onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  2. Add the chicken and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.
  3. Add the rice, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
  4. Add the broccoli on top of the rice mixture. Do not stir.
  5. Close the Instant Pot lid and turn the valve to the sealing position.
  6. Select high pressure and set the timer for 10 minutes.
  7. Once the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.
  8. Open the Instant Pot lid and stir everything together. Serve hot.

Notes

  • If you want to make this recipe even healthier, you can use brown rice instead of white rice.
  • If you want to add a little spice to this dish, you can add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
  • If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this recipe on the stove. Just follow the same steps, but cook the rice according to the package instructions and adjust the cooking time for the chicken and broccoli accordingly.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces so that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't stir the broccoli into the rice mixture before cooking. It will cook perfectly on top of the rice mixture.
  • Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before turning the valve to the venting position. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • You can add some shredded cheese on top of the chicken broccoli rice before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
