Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice
This chicken fried rice recipe uses an Instant Pot to cook diced chicken, rice, peas, carrots, and scrambled eggs together with garlic and soy sauce. The pressure cooker method allows the rice and chicken to cook evenly while locking in flavors, resulting in a tender, aromatic fried rice dish. Scrambled eggs added at the end enhance the texture and add protein. Green onions provide a fresh garnish for color and mild sharpness.
