Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (diced into 1 inch pieces)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 onion (chopped)
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz can)
- 1 1/2 cups white rice
- 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Turn the instant pot to the sauté setting and add in the olive oil.
- Add the chicken and onions and cook for 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally until the onions are softened and the chicken is browned slightly.
- Then add in the minced garlic and cook on the sauté setting for 1-2 minutes.
- Then stir in the chicken broth and rice. Make sure the rice is covered by the liquid (add more broth if needed).
- Next pour the cream of chicken soup on top of the other ingredients but do not mix it in with the other ingredients.
- Seal the instant pot (by moving the valve on the lid to the seal position). Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. After the cook time, let the pressure release from the instant pot naturally by not moving the valve on the lid.
- Once all the pressure has been released from the instant pot. Remove the lid, stir in the shredded cheese. The heat from the meal will melt the cheese.
- Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5-7 days.
- You can mix in a bag of frozen mixed vegetables into this meal when you add in the rice. I have done this with frozen peas and carrots mixture before and it works great.
