Description

This Instant Pot Chicken and Rice recipe is a one-pot meal that is quick and easy to make. It is perfect for busy weeknights when you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. The chicken and rice are cooked together in the Instant Pot, which means that you don't have to worry about making a separate side dish. This dish is also great for meal prep, as it can be stored in the fridge for a few days and reheated when needed.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is minimal. You will need to chop some onions and garlic, but other than that, there is not much prep work involved. Plan for about 10 minutes of prep time.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is 25 minutes. However, keep in mind that it will take some time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure before the cook time begins.
