  1. In your Instant Pot, add in the chicken stock, crushed garlic, thyme, stripe of lemon zest, paprika, chicken breasts, and oregano.
  2. Once you lock and seal your Instant Pot, set it on high pressure for 8 minutes. It can take up to 20 minutes to build pressure due to the liquid.
  3. Once done, carefully quick release the IP, remove the chicken breasts (to shred), remove the lemon zest/thyme/bay leaf, and add in the rice and salt.
  4. Lock and seal the Instant Pot again and set the IP on high pressure for 1 minutes and let your IP natural release for 10 minutes before very carefully (it might spew a bit) quick releasing the IP.
  5. Stir in lemon juice, peas, and the shredded chicken. Add more salt if needed.
