Recipe Summary 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.Ingredients | Creamy Garlic Chicken And Rice
1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons chili powder, divided
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 chicken thighs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
½ tablespoon dried oregano
½ tablespoon ground thyme
½ tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon paprika, or to taste
2 cups chicken broth
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
Directions
Rinse rice in a colander until the water runs clear. Let soak while you prepare the rest.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley when serving.
You can use chicken drumsticks instead of thighs, if preferred.
Watch the garlic carefully when cooking. I sometimes turn the pot off or lift it up when cooking minced garlic.
