Instant Pot® Chicken and Wild Rice Bowls image

This one-pot meal is warm and comforting with nice texture and contrast between the firm wild rice and the softer brown rice. It's savory, yet expect a little kick of sweetness to sneak in with the apples and cranberries.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup diced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 small firm apple, cored and chopped
1 ½ cups uncooked wild and brown rice blend (such as Lundberg Wild Blend®)
½ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
1 teaspoon ground thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil in the pot until hot and add mushrooms and onion. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Turn the pressure cooker off.
  • Pour chicken broth into the pot and stir in apple, rice, cranberries, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture, but do not stir. Close and lock the lid; set the pressure valve to Sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Transfer chicken thighs to a cutting board and cut or shred into bite-sized pieces. Return to the pot and stir. Garnish with parsley and serve in bowls.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken in the fridge, and I used it to make this dish. The chicken was still moist and flavorful, and the wild rice and sauce were delicious. I would definitely recommend this

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the sauce, and it was much better. The chicken was also a bit dry. I would recommend cooking the chicken for less time.
