Ingredients

8 servings

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium onion (diced)
2 large carrots (thickly grated or julienned)
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast (or thighs, or tenders (trimmed and cut into 1" pieces))
2 tsp sea salt (divided)
1/4 tsp black pepper (ground)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups Jasmine rice (un-rinsed)
1 head garlic (unpeeled, cut in half crosswise)
1/3 cup parsley (finely chopped, plus more to garnish)
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (plus more to serve)

Steps

Set a 6 Qt Instant Pot to saute on high heat and add butter, oil, chopped onion, grated or julienned carrots, and 1 tsp salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until soft and golden.
Add trimmed, chopped chicken, another 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
Add 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of rice and stir to combine. Cut the whole garlic head in half through the cloves and parallel to the base. Place garlic halves on top, cut-side down. Cover and cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes, then quick-release remaining pressure.
Open the lid and stir in 1/2 cup parmesan with 1/3 cup chopped parsley. Serve with more cheese and garnish with parsley if desired.
