Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice well-rinsed, drained
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Select the sauté button on the Instant Pot and add the butter to the inner pot. Once the butter melts, add the onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until opaque.
- Then stir in the garlic and chicken; cook until the chicken is no longer pink. Cancel the sauté function and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits from the onion.
- Then stir in the broth, rice, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
- Secure the lid, be sure the steam valve is in the sealing position, and cook on high pressure for 6 minutes. Once cooked, quickly release the pressure. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
