Ingredients
- 2 cups dry white rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon paste
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Sauce
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter ⅜ stick
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon vegetable bouillon paste
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Rinse rice until water runs clear, drain well. (this helps the rice to have the right texture and to not stick together when cooking)
- Microwave broth for 3 minutes or until boiling (or heat on stove until boiling).
- Add bouillon paste, onion powder, garlic powder,Old Bay Seasoning, Seasoned Salt, and cooking oil to broth and whisk until all combined.
- Place rice and broth mixture in an instant pot and seal the lid. Set for high pressure for 5 minutes. Allow to natural release for 10 minutes then release remaining pressure and open.
- During the last five minutes of natural pressure release combine the sauce ingredients, making sure the broth is hot and the butter melts into it. Whisk until all are thoroughly combined. (you don’t want this mixture to sit as it will start to thicken, you want it to be ready right as the rice is ready) Make sure the cornstarch is well mixed with other ingredients to avoid lumps in sauce.
- Add the sauce mixture to the cooked rice and stir until well combined. (doing this step while leaving the pot in the machine helps the sauce to combine with the rice as the heat helps to thicken the sauce).
- Serve warm with your favorite sides or as a side to your main course.
Notes
- This recipe is inspired by the Knorr/Lipton rice sides Chicken Flavored Rice.
- Storage: Store Instant Pot chicken flavored rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Too watery = the rice is undercooked
- Hard, chewy, or burnt = the dish needs more broth or is overcooked.
- Don't let the sauce sit, as it will start to thicken.
- Take note that the rice measuring cup that comes with the Instant Pot is only 180 mL.
