Instant Pot Chicken & Rice

One of those recipes that's unnecessarily complicated. Just saute everything in a wok or pan and dump it in the pressure cooker. Shaves about 20 minutes off the cooking time.

The recipe needs adjusting. I diced my chicken first as I saw in the comments, but it still wasn't cooked all the way in the time listed in the recipe. I had to cook it longer and then some of the rice burned on the bottom. It also needs more spices, it's a little bland. It did taste good enough. I might make again but with adjustments

Would definitely cube the chicken next time. Glad I listened to the comments about adding more seasoning (extra tsp of paprika and salt and adding 1/4 tsp of chili powder)

I would say this recipe tastes good, it just needs 1 tsp extra salt, 1 tsp Paprika in mix, 1/4 tsp chilli powder, and 3 cups of water total. Also, I don't have an instant pot, so I made it on the stove (following the normal instructions and using what little skill I have). It took 30 minutes of simmering on low and the rice came out perfect. Definitely more for tacos I would say though.

Like many others have said I kept getting the burn notice. We stirred it and added more liquid, but still kept getting the notice. By the time it was cooked it was practically porridge from all the excess liquid we had to add.

Food burned to the bottom of the pot, it needs more liquid maybe?

Overall, this recipe is good. The chicken is kind of bland. Next time I make it, I will cut up the chicken before cooking and season it separately.

Tasty

Not bad

I added more seasoning as I'm not just a salt and pepper person and it was perfect

This meal honestly just makes me sad. It's so close to being a meal and yet it tastes like nothing. If I had to guess what dog food tastes like this would probably be it :(

With these measurements the rice burned to the bottom of the instant pot and the chicken was raw. To add it had no flavor. Never again!

Very good

Did everything it said even let the food cool before pressure cooking, not enough liquid and when I added more it was just mush

Far too much liquid for the recipe. Ended up turning out more like a gumbo or something. Doubled the spices and garlic after seeing others say it was bland and tasted good.

I felt like this was pretty bland in spite of my adding extra garlic etc.

Honestly it was pretty good. I just doubled the ingredients so it would be enough.

I made a couple changes since a lot of comments said it was bland. I doubled the spices listed, then also added basil and a tiny bit of chili and then some crushed red pepper. I also added some halved grape tomatoes. It was good, a tad spicy and decent flavor. It was simple but that's what I was looking for - a simple, easy dinner.

A little bland for my taste, but just throw in more spices. Great for throwing on some taco shells with cheese, pico, and salsa! I also used 2 cups of rice with a little over 2.25 cups of stock.

Great quick dinner idea. Great flavor.

Need to figure out the water ratio. With the current one, my rice got soft but it had some liquid left

Bland. Boring. If this recipie was a spice, it would be flour

Not like mom's.

I guess my chicken wasn't 100% thawed bc I had to add 5 more minutes of cook time. The rice was almost non existent, kinda just turned to mush. Bland and boring.

Didn't follow cooking instructions, as someone else mentioned, I sautéed the garlic and onion first then the carrots and bell peppers, then made room for the chicken and make sure it was all seared and seasoned, then finally added the stock and rice.

Tasty! I'll probably add a little extra spice next time but this was fast, easy, and really good.

Didn't love the fresh parsley in it so I'll probably omit that next time.

Its turned out ok it was very bland though. Overall not bad.

I have an 8 qt IP. I doubled the rice, added 4 cups of chicken broth, did not rinse my rice, and layered my IP as such: saute onion/garlic/seasonings lightly, add other veggies, seasoned chicken breasts, Rotel, and rice on top. The rice was perfectly cooked, dish was a little soup-y, but I just removed the lid and set it to saute to let some of it evaporated

Read all the reviews so I added extra vegetables, spices, and broth. The taste was okay. The rice wasn't cooked after 20 minutes so I added another 4 minutes and it burnt. Okay taste but not good enough to make again.

Soooo nice. I added an extra stock cube for more flavouring and more water as the rice was still undercooked in the end. Also added yellow capsicum as well as the red (can’t really see the red capsicum or carrot in this photo). Made a vegetarian version for myself and it turned out amazing. Definitely my new go-to way to make rice, we had it as the main dish tonight but would be perfect as a side dish as well. I took the picture before adding the parsley.

Added more liquid to prevent burning. Mushy. Need to fiddle with amount of liquid

I added: Chicken seasoning/All purpose to chicken. Kale - Just had in the fridge Spring onions - didn’t have onions X6 Garlic bulbs Maybe add chilli flakes for a little kick I didn’t measure the rice so I ruined it - I got the ‘burn’ light. So, I had to transfer the rice to a pot and grilled the chicken. Shredded chicken once cooked through and mixed in with rice. Worked out pretty ok, luckily. Would definitely try again but will follow the rice measurements :)

Kinda bland but I think I'll add some salsa.

Pretty boring but started to grow on me as I kept eating it. I threw a can of diced tomatoes with green peppers in it, which added a little extra flavor and spice.

Was easy to make. Did add a can of diced tomatoes like some of the reviews.

Adding a bit of chicken bullion for salt makes this dish tastier. At first I wasn't very impressed, but if you add some lime or use trader Joe's chili lime seasoning, it really makes this recipe sing.
