Instant Pot Chicken Bacon Ranch Rice combines three favorite flavors to make a filling comfort food. This gluten-free recipe is easy to make and leftovers reheat well.

I have another gluten-free rice dish for you. This one may not be the prettiest, but it is pretty tasty. It mixes together one of my favorite combinations – chicken, bacon and ranch. The dish reheats really well, which is a good part of its appeal for me since my youngest loves it and can bring it to school for lunch. The dish is very filling, as well as very easy to put together. Here’s how I make it.
