Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Unsalted butter, divided
- 1/2 Cup Onion, diced
- 1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
- 1 Cup Long grain white rice
- 1 Cup Water
- 1 1/2 tsp Seasoning salt
- 1/4 tsp Onion powder
- Pinch of pepper
- 2 Cups Broccoli, cut into tiny pieces
- 2 Cups Cooked Chicken breast, shredded (about 1 large breast)
- 1 Cup Mild cheddar cheese, grated and tightly packed (3oz)
Instructions
- Melt 1 Tbsp of the butter in your Instant Pot on sautee mode. Once melted, add in the onion and cook until it just begins to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add in the garlic and cook an additional minute or two until they begin to brown.
- Place the rice in a fine sieve and wash with water until the water runs clear. Add it into the Instant Pot along with the water, salt, onion powder and pepper, stirring to combine.
- Cover the Instant Pot (make sure it's set to sealing) and cook on manual high pressure for 4 minutes. Once cooked, let steam release naturally (about 16 minutes)
- Once the steam has released naturally, open the Instant Pot and fluff the rice with a fork, stirring in the last Tbsp of butter. Stir in the broccoli, cover and let sit 15-20 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
- Stir in the chicken and cheese until melty and combined.
- DEVOUR!
