Chicken Something

"Chicken Something" is a recipe I found years ago online, and I've made it several times.  It's so easy to make, and the end result is so delish!

Now that I have an Instant Pot, I decided to try making it in the pressure cooker instead of baking it in the oven like I usually do.

I just placed all the ingredients in the Instant Pot, sealed it, set the timer, and let it do its thing.

The dish turned out great - the rice was really creamy and buttery (reminded me a bit of risotto).

I once again used frozen chicken, and the overall time (pressurize, cook, release) turned out to be about an hour.

Whether you bake the chicken in the oven or cook it in the Instant Pot, it will turn out yummy!
