Yes, this really does all get cooked in the Instant Pot at the same time. And NO, the rice isn’t mixed into the sauce! I have kids who are currently super sensitive to having their food mixed up, so having the chicken and rice separately? Amazing!And there’s your reason why I cook this in a pressure cooker: Because the rice gets steamed to absolute perfection, right there in the pot while the chicken is cooking in the sauce. No need to wait for take out delivery with this delicious meal!
