- 1.25 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast cubed (about 2 large breasts)
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1.5 cups white rice
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups broccoli florets cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Turn on the Instant Pot Saute function and melt the butter. While butter is melting, chop the onions and chicken.
Add onions to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, until beginning to soften.
Add the chicken and garlic and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink.
Add broth, rice, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir.
Cook on Manual setting for 4 minutes. When cycle is complete, allow pot to depressurize naturally for 3 minutes, then open the vent to release remaining pressure.
Add broccoli florets to the pot, stir, and replace the lid. Let stand for 5-6 minutes - the broccoli will cook under the remaining heat in the pot.
