Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is minimal. You will need to chop some vegetables and measure out the ingredients, but it should only take about 10-15 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is about 25 minutes. It takes about 10 minutes for the pressure cooker to come to pressure, then 15 minutes for the chicken and rice to cook.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Pressure cooker
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method

  1. Set the pressure cooker to sauté mode and add the olive oil.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the chicken and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until browned on all sides.
  4. Add the rice, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pressure cooker and stir to combine.
  5. Close the pressure cooker lid and set the valve to sealing.
  6. Select the manual setting and set the timer for 15 minutes.

Notes

  • If you prefer brown rice, you can substitute it for the white rice in this recipe. You will need to increase the cooking time to 22-25 minutes.
  • If you want to add some extra flavor, you can stir in some chopped fresh herbs, like parsley or cilantro, before serving.
  • If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can make this recipe on the stovetop. Simply follow the same instructions, but use a large pot with a tight-fitting lid instead of a pressure cooker. You will need to increase the cooking time to 20-25 minutes and check the rice occasionally to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces so that it cooks evenly.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-chopped onion and minced garlic from the grocery store.
  • Don't skip the step of sautéing the onion and garlic. This helps to develop the flavor of the dish.
  • Make sure to use long-grain white rice in this recipe. Other types of rice may require a different cooking time or water ratio.
  • Don't stir the rice after you add the chicken broth. This can cause the rice to become mushy. Only fluff it with a fork after it's done cooking.
