I never get tired of creamy chicken and rice combinations, especially when they’re this easy. All 5 kids loved it, and that’s a pretty rare thing.
Heat the Instant Pot on saute and cook until starting to soften:
1 T. butter
1 onion, diced
Add and stir until the chicken is partly cooked through, about 2-3 minutes:
1 1/2 lbs. chicken breast, bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic
Add the following ingredients, put the lid on the pot, and cook at high pressure for 5 minutes with a quick release:
2 t. Italian seasoning
1/2 t. pepper
1 t. salt
3 c. rice
4 1/2 c. chicken broth
When the pressure has released, open the pot and stir in the following:
3/4 c. heavy cream
3/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Serve creamy chicken and rice with a side of broccoli, spinach, or another favorite vegetable.
