Instructions

1

Layer the Ingredients

Add the chicken broth to the Instant Pot first. Place the whole chicken breasts in the broth. Add the sliced carrots, celery, dried thyme, and a good pinch of salt and pepper.

2

Add the Rice

Sprinkle the uncooked rice evenly over the top of the other ingredients. Do not stir, as this helps prevent a burn notice at the bottom of the pot.

3

Pressure Cook

Secure the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes. Allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then do a quick release for the remaining pressure.

Shred the Chicken and Serve

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Common mistakes

Stirring the rice into the broth before cooking can cause the rice to scorch on the bottom
Using quick-release immediately after cooking can cause the soup to spray through the valve
