Instant Pot Ranch Chicken and Rice

I love instant pot dinners and this Instant Pot Ranch Chicken and Rice is a definite winner. My babysitter especially loves preparing it for the kids because it takes very little effort for a lot of happy faces.

Simply put, uncooked, skinless and boneless chicken breasts with uncooked rice and flavor with diced white onions, ranch seasoning and chicken broth. Once cooked add some heavy cream and melt Cheddar cheese to make your dish extra creamy and delicious.

To make Instant Pot Ranch Chicken and Rice, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Instant Pot Ranch Chicken and Rice

1	Heat pot	3
Heat the instant pot on the saute setting.
2	Season chicken	1
Season one pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts with ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper each.
3	Brown chicken	5
Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into the heated instant pot liner and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
4	Cook onions	5
In the instant pot, cook 1 cup of diced, white onion for about 3-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
5	Deglaze	1
Scrape up any brown bits from the chicken and onions and add about ¼ cup of chicken broth, or as needed. Turn off the instant pot heat.
6	Prepare instant pot	1
Place the browned chicken breasts on top of the cooked onions, and sprinkle with 1 package of 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix, then add 1 cup of uncooked rice, and finally 1 cup of chicken broth. Use a wooden spoon to push the rice into the broth to cover completely for even cooking.
