Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
