Pressure Cooker Chicken and Rice
Pressure Cooker Chicken Vegetable Rice is an easy recipe that’s naturally gluten-free if you check your labels. This simple one-pot recipe requires very little work, making it perfect for busy days especially during the winter. Here’s how to make it.
Equipment Needed
- electric pressure cooker (I used a 6 qt Zavor LUX LCD)
- silicone cooking spoon
- measuring cup
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast or tenders, diced or cut into bite sized pieces
- 1.5 cups white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
- 1 cup onion, minced or diced
- olive oil
Instructions
Plug in the electric pressure cooker.
Set the pressure cooker to saute or brown.
Coat the bottom of the pot with a thin layer of olive oil.
Place the chicken into the pot along with the onions and saute until the chicken is no longer pink.
Pour a splash of the chicken broth into the pot.
Add the rice to the pot.
Pour the remainder of the chicken broth into the pot along with the seasoning.
Be sure as much of the rice as possible is covered with broth.
Put the frozen peas and carrots into the pot.
Place the lid onto the pot and close to seal.
Set the pressure cooker to cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes.
Once the cooking time has finished, let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes befoire doing a quick pressure release to let any remaining steam out.
Pour the light cream into the pot and stir.
Serve immediately with salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy!
Tips
This recipe is very thick for it’s first serving. If you have leftovers, you will likely want to add a splash of chicken broth to the dish before reheating and serving.

This sounds amazing and perfect for this time of year, I have never used a pressure cooker before, but am sure you can adapt to a slow cooker or regular oven
This sounds delicious. I really like rice dishes but I am a bit boring about it and just serve it on the side of a meal rather than making it the main ingredient.
I think i will give this a go, I am sure it will be popular with us all x
This looks fab! I don’t use my pressure cooker often but I love my slow cooker!
I’m really tempted to get a pressure cooker, it’s amazing that you can cook a meal like this in 5 minutes!
This looks so nice and tasty. Is a pressure cooker the same as a slow cooker? I really need to up my game in the kitchen department
Oh wow! This looks amazing. I really should get myself a pressure cooker, I think it would really benefit my kitchen. 🙂
What a tasty combo that sounds like, I don’t think I’d have thought to put chicken actually in the rice, but it sounds yummy x
This looks absolutely delicious and can not wait to try this soon as I now have all the ingredients in the house.
