Instant Pot® Garlic-Herb Chicken and Rice

Delicious one-pot chicken and rice meal that everyone will love! I used my 6-quart Instant Pot® for this recipe.

Step: 1

Rinse rice in a colander until the water runs clear. Let soak while you prepare the rest.

Step: 2

Mix lemon juice, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper together in a small bowl. Rub over chicken thighs.

Step: 3

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add the oil when pot is hot. Add seasoned chicken to the pot and sear, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.

Step: 4

Melt butter in the pot, add onion, and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, watching carefully as it will brown fast. Add oregano, thyme, dried parsley, paprika, and remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder. Mix well. Add rice and roast, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot completely. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken in a single layer; add any liquid made while resting.

Step: 5

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step: 6

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions for 10 minutes. Release any remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Let rest for an additional 10 minutes.

Step: 7

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley when serving.

Depriving yourself can lead to overeating , 2.00 AM snacking, and mindless eating and it’s for this mind that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and got eat , it is much important to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as off limits ). Meaning , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the junk food and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

Because it comes to dinner , much eat or eating too much of the wrong item of food can lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a meal that is not eating to much food than satiating not make leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an eat bad food late-night side dish even closer to sleep .
