Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup onion chopped, small
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cups white rice uncooked
  • 1 cup chicken broth organic
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning dried
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 carrot cut lengthwise and then chopped into ½-inch pieces, medium
  • 1 red pepper chopped
  • 1 lb chicken breast boneless skinless
  • 1 cup green peas frozen
  • parsley optional, fresh, chopped, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in Instant Pot using the Saute setting. When hot add chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant about 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in rice, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Add chopped carrots, bell pepper and chicken breasts. Season generously again with salt and pepper.
  3. Close the lid, turn the valve to sealing and cook on High Pressure for 6 minutes. When done, let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then do quick release.
  4. Carefully open the lid, transfer the chicken breasts to a bowl and using 2 forks, shred chicken or chop them in bite-size pieces. Stir the chicken back into the rice mixture along with the green peas. Top with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Stir the rice into the chicken broth to avoid getting the burn notice.
  • You can add in other veggies that you have in your fridge like mushrooms or green beans.
  • This is a full meal on its own, but you can serve it with an additional side salad if you like.
  • If you are using brown rice, you have to adjust the cooking time to 15 minutes instead of 6 minutes.
