Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 packet Italian Salad Dressing Mix (0.7 oz packet)
- 1 cup white rice, rinsed
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot on to the. "Saute" function and add in your olive oil. Once warm, add in your diced onion and saute for 1 minute. Add in your garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
- Add in your cubed chicken pieces to the Instant Pot and allow to brown for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle over the entire Italian Dressing Seasoning Packet over the chicken and stir. Add in your rice and carefully pour in your chicken broth.
- Put your lid on the Instant Pot and Pressure Cook on High for 9 minutes. Make sure your steam valve is on, "Sealing". (My Instant Pot took about 5-6 minutes to pressurize before the cooking began).
- Allow to naturally release for 5 minutes once done cooking, then carefully, release the steam out from the steam valve, and lift the lid.
- Add in your cheese and broccoli florets and stir well. Place the lid back on the Instant Pot, and allow the cheese to melt and the broccoli to steam for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
