Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Main Course

Time 41m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups white rice (uncooked)
2 ½ cups chicken broth

10 ½ ounces condensed cream of chicken soup ((1 can))
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
10 ounces frozen mixed vegetables

Steps:

  • Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  • Press "saute" button on Instant Pot and let pot heat up. Add in olive oil to pot, then add in chicken, salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. Saute over heat until onions become translucent and chicken starts to brown (5-6 minutes).
  • Add rice and cook for 1-2 minutes more; just until rice starts to turn golden brown.
  • Add in chicken broth and water. If you have the burn notice on your IP, you will want to deglaze the bottom of your Instant Pot at this time to prevent that from happening. Place lid on Instant Pot. Press "manual" button and set timer for 8 minutes.
  • Once cooking time is complete, switch the valve on top to "venting" (i.e. a quick release).
  • Remove lid and add in soup, shredded cheese, and frozen vegetables. Mix everything together until cheese is melted and vegetables are warmed (if you need to turn it on saute to help the vegetables cook, you can do that. Just be sure to stir continuously so that it doesn't burn).

INSTANT POT CHICKEN & WILD RICE SOUP RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Instant Pot Chicken & Wild Rice Soup Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by lindaauman

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup celery, diced
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth
2 large chicken breasts, boneless skinless, uncooked and diced
1 (6-ounce) package Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Dash red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
1 cup milk
1 cup half and half

Steps:

  • Select Saute and add butter to the pressure cooker pot. When butter is melted, add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, chicken, wild rice (discard seasoning packet) salt, pepper, and parsley to the pressure cooking pot. Lock lid in place, select High Pressure and 5 minutes cook time and start. When timer beeps, turn off pressure cooker, wait 5 minutes, then do a quick pressure release. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water. Select Simmer and add cornstarch mixture to the pot stirring constantly. Add cubed cream cheese and stir until cheese is melted. Add milk and half and half and heat through but do not bring to a boil

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a broth that is made with real chicken and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 8-10 minutes on high pressure in the Instant Pot.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, try to use vegetables that are in season.
  • Season to taste: Always taste your dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.

Conclusion:
