My wife has high garlic and onion sensitivity.
We used FODY chicken broth and cut out all salt because it is so high in salt content.
We put the cubed chicken into the instant pot with a little of the broth and ran a light 2 minute pressure cook with a quick release after.
We rinsed the rice and shook the remaining water into the sink with the strainer.
Then, while the chicken was cooking I cut up the broccoli into smaller pieces and put the good ones into the remaining broth.
I added all remaining ingredients except the cheese. After the last cooking, I added the cheese and put the lid back on after mixing. It cooked in its own heat and thickened. We each peppered our own bowls to taste.
