Equipment
- pressure cooker
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms sliced
- ½ medium yellow onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1.5 lb. chicken breast chopped (approx. 2 chicken breasts)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups long grain white rice NOT rinsed
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups milk any kind (I used oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Add the butter and olive oil to your Instant Pot, then press "sauté" and set it for 6 minutes. Allow 1 minute for the butter to melt, then add the mushrooms, onion and garlic and cook until the time is up.
- To the pot, add the chicken and salt. Press "sauté", set it for 5 minutes and cook the chicken.
- Next, add the rice, chicken broth, milk, and coconut aminos. Stir everything together, ensuring nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot and that the rice is covered in liquid.
- Place the lid on top, ensuring the knob on top is in the "seal" position. Pressure cook for 10 minutes, then quick release. When you remove the lid, there may be some milk sitting on top -- that's ok! Give the mixture a good stir, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. which will allow the rice to continue to absorb some of the liquid. The end result is a CREAMY dreamy rice situation.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and black pepper and enjoy!
Notes
*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
*Storage: store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
*Don't rinse the rice before adding it to your Instant Pot! Otherwise, the texture will be off.
*Milk: I tested this recipe with oat milk, but ANY milk should work.
*Mushrooms: I used baby bella (my favorite!) but feel free to use a combination of your favorite variety.
