Basic Pressure Cooker Chicken & Rice - Adventures in Everyday Cooking

Wondering how to do chicken and rice in the same pot of your pressure cooker? In this video I show you how the same basic recipe can be used for a variety of different chicken and rice meals! Just 8 minutes in your pressure cooker, and you've got dinner!
Basic Chicken
Ingredients
* 2 Tablespoons of butter
* 1 cup of onion
* 1-2 tsps diced garlic
* 3 cups chicken broth
* 3 cups of rice (not instant)
* Salt and Pepper
* 2-3 cups of bite sized chicken
* Optional add-ins (see note below)
Instructions
* Set your pressure cooker to sauté/sear and add your butter. Once the butter is melted, add your onions and sauté until soft and translucent.
* Add in your garlic and sauté for 30 seconds
* Add your chicken broth and rice (make sure you have your rice ratios correct. When in doubt use 1:1.5 rice/water ratio, you can always evaporate the extra moisture, but it’s harder to add it back in). Mix well.
* Add in any add-ins at this point. Mix well.
* Salt and pepper your chicken and lay your cut chicken pieces on the top of your mixture in the pot. Do not stir.
* Seal and set for 8 minutes on high pressure.
* When the time is over, allow the pot to natural pressure release for 5-10 minutes before opening.
Optional Add-ins
Basic Creamy Chicken Ingredients:
* Juice of one lemon
* ½ cup of parmesan
Basic Mexican Chicken Ingredients:
* 1 taco seasoning packet
* 1 cup of salsa
Pressure Cooker Rice
Cal Rose

Basmati
Rinse your rice until the water is clear. Drain. Add 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water to your pot. Mix well. Set your pressure cooker to 6 minutes. Allow natural pressure to release 10 minutes before opening.
Jasmine
Rinse your rice until the water is clear. Drain. Add 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water to your pot. Mix well. Set your pressure cooker to 3 minutes. Allow natural pressure to release 10 minutes before opening.
Brown Rice
Do not rinse. Add 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water to your pot. Mix well. Set your pressure cooker to 15 minutes. Allow natural pressure to release 5 minutes before opening.
Wild Rice
Rinse your rice until the water is clear. Drain. Add 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of water to your pot. Add a pinch of salt and 1 tsp olive oil. Mix well. Set your pressure cooker to 15 minutes.
Allow natural pressure to release for the full time (until button falls).
Trouble shooting: If your rice is too al dente, close the lid quickly and allow to sit for another 5 minutes or so. If your rice is still too wet, leave the pot open and allow to sit for another 5 minutes.

I sent you a comment about the dark chocolate hummus.

[@thomasbrooks8112]

Could you use frozen, bone in chicken thighs in your chicken and rice recipe? How much extra time would you guess i would need to add?

[@johnbartholf777]

I use whole thighs. Frozen 20 minutes, thawed 10 minutes. Personally, I like a long natural release on the pressure.

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Yes, what John said!

[@darinkagolob7668]

What kind of chicken did you use?

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

I usually use chicken thighs!

[@brendabreton2954]

Do you think we could use minute rice if we needed to?❤️🇨🇦

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

You know, I bet you could! As long as it's precooked it will work!

[@lloydg4942]

I like the new music way better than the whistling :)

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Ohhhh really? Okay. Note taken. :) I'm trying to get some uniquely me music, but that is hard!

[@lucyibarra5385]

Do you think you can use cream of mushroom soup in quick cooker

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

You sure can!!

[@pamarnott8816]

@@AdventuresinEverydayCooking Sorry, I see this was all 2 years ago. If I use Cream of Chicken and Cream of Mushroom Soups, should I still add 1 cup of Chicken Broth?

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

@@pamarnott8816yes, I would still add the broth, the rice needs that extra moisture. ❤

[@elizabethshaw734]

What are you calling a quick cooker? Aren't they both pressure cookers?

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Yes. They are both pressure cookers. The Pampered Chef version is called a Quick Cooker.

[@elizabethshaw734]

@@AdventuresinEverydayCooking thank you for clarifying. :-)

[@Totally_Tiffanie]
