AIP Instant Pot Congee

AIP Instant Pot Congee is a savory rice porridge made with chicken thighs, cauliflower rice, ginger, onion, and shiitake mushrooms. Pressure cooking blends the flavors and produces a smooth base, while sautéing cauliflower rice and mushrooms separately adds texture. Optional add-ins like coconut aminos and green onions finish the dish, making it adaptable to AIP dietary needs.
