Description

A heartwarming dish, brimming with comfort and flavor, combining savory chicken, earthy mushrooms, and fragrant spices, all cooked in one pot.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup parboiled rice
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode and heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Toss in the sliced mushrooms, allowing them to soften for another 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the parboiled rice, shredded chicken, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika, mixing well.
  4. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to ‘Manual’ on high pressure for 10 minutes. Ensure the valve is set to sealing.
  5. Once cooking is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  6. Open the lid, fluff the rice gently with a fork, and serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

For creamier rice, stir in a splash of cream or sour cream before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste.
