Notes
- Note: I won’t be providing cooking instructions for the rice or chicken here. I cooked the rice in an Instant Pot and simply cubed and sauteed the chicken with salt and pepper. But I’d recommend giving using the recipes for Instant Pot Basmati Rice and Easy Grilled Ranch Chicken to make this recipe.
