This delicious chicken broccoli and rice is a casserole-like, one-pot comfort meal that is easy to make in the Instant Pot. Instant Pot Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole Tips Before we get into the recipe, here are some tips for achieving the best results with this pressure cooker chicken broccoli and rice dish. There are two stages to this recipe: cooking and finishing the dish.

Here are the key ingredients you need. Rice: Do not use parboiled or fast-cooking rice as it will overcook and get too mushy. Because we are cooking chicken and rice at the same time, we need those 5 minutes under high pressure. Long-grain or medium-grain white rice is best here. Chicken: You can use dark or white meat, make sure it’s skinless and boneless to work with the timings in this recipe.

It’s important to keep the pieces small so they can cook well in those 5 minutes under pressure, so don’t add whole chicken breasts or chicken thighs, make sure to cut them up. Stock: Good quality chicken stock will infuse that rice with lots of flavor. If you want to cook with more bone broth for health benefits, this is a good opportunity to do so. You will notice that we didn’t add broccoli to the cooking stage of the recipe because it would overcook and get too soft. Instead, we steamed it in boiling hot water while the chicken and rice were cooking in the Instant Pot. Broccoli and cheese are added right at the end. If you want to keep this dish dairy-free, you can omit the cheese from the recipe.

These are especially handy if you’re an Instant Pot beginner. Prepare all ingredients for the cooking stage. Turn the Instant Pot and press the Sauté button. Once the inner pot starts heating up, add the olive oil and butter, followed by onions, carrots and celery cubes. Cook for 2 minutes, until slightly translucent. Pour in the chicken stock and stir through, scraping all the bits from the bottom of the pot.

Press Cancel to stop the Sauteing process. Rinse the rice a few times and strain. Add to the pot with the chicken stock and sprinkle with pepper. Once the timer is done, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes. While the rice is cooking, boil a few cups of water. Place broccoli florets in a pot, cover with boiling water and pop a lid on top.

Let them sit under the lid in boiling water to steam until the rice is ready. Most of the liquid should be absorbed into the rice but you should still have a little bit left. The consistency should be a little creamy. This would give it a little contrast of color and that extra comforting, cheesy feel.

Serve with fresh parsley and a few florets of broccoli on top. HOW TO MAKE WILD RICE SOUP IN THE INSTANT POT Here are step-by-step instructions for making vegetable lentil stew in the Instant Pot.
