Instant Pot Easy Chicken and Brown Rice

I cannot believe how quickly time flies. December 1st already! I have the Christmas tree up an some interior decorations done, but outdoor lights will have to wait until I finish writing an exam.

It has been so busy with Christmas! Thankfully online shopping is amazing. I have been getting most of the present through online. And it helps where there is ebates.ca or Ebates.com depending on where you live.

I love getting cash back when you go through their site to purchase. Ebates have all the major stores such as Amazon, Target, Walmart, Indigo, Gap, Old Navy ..etc. Why not get some money when you shop? To open an account and start your cash back, you can click Here.

Another kids friendly recipe I made a few times was the Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker One Pot Chicken and Brown Rice recipe. It is very easy and My kids love it!

The recipe was adapted from SuperHealthyKids. All you need is the chicken (thigh or breast) ,chicken broth, cream of chicken, brown rice, and all the other veggies you would like to add. Put it in the pot and ready in 26 minutes.

Ingredients needed:

• 1 medium – onion

• 1 teaspoon of minced garlic

• 2 cup – carrots chopped

• 2 cup – mushrooms

• 2 cup – brown rice, raw

• 1 tablespoon – olive oil

• 2 1/4 cup – chicken broth, low-sodium

• 2 pound – chicken thigh, boneless, skinless

• 1/8 teaspoon – salt

• 1/8 teaspoon – black pepper, ground

• 10 ounce – soup, cream of chicken, canned

• 2 tablespoon – Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tablespoon – thyme, fresh

Directions:

1. Use the “sauté” button on Instant Pot.
2. Dice onion, mince garlic, and chop veggies.
3. Rinse and drain rice
4. When pot is “HOT,” add oil to pot and saute onions for 2 minutes. Press “cancel” to turn the saute setting off.
5. Mix veggies, garlic, rice, and broth into the pot. Place chicken on top, salt and pepper, then cover with cream of chicken soup and Worcestershire sauce.
6. Place 8-10 small sprigs of thyme into pot7. Seal the Instant Pot vent, and press “manual.” Use the “pressure” button to go to high pressure setting. Set the time for 26 minutes if you want firmer veggies and 31 minutes if you want soft veggies.

Once the pot is done cooking, you could let it sit for 15-20 minutes to naturally release pressure, or manual release . And there you have your own meal!

This is my go to recipe when I don’t have time to prep. Bon appetite!!!
