    Add chicken pieces and ranch seasoning mix, and stir to coat. Continue to sauté for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour in the broth and rice and stir to combine. Close the lid and cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes, then quick release the remaining pressure.

  4. 4

    Open the lid and stir in the cheese. Serve the chicken and rice hot.

    1. 1

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Yummy chicken, and rice I like using my instant pot recipes. This one was particularly good because the rice and the chicken cook at the same time. Very tasty.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not sure what I did wrong I made this last night. I used the rice I had on hand (possibly basamati) and used the HVR seasoning bottle. I couldn't taste the ranch at all, and I think I had too much rice. Might try it again using a individual package of ranch mix and use less rice.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from It didn't turn out the way I think it should have I tried this recipe but the rice did not come out right so it wasn't as good as it could have been. I'm sure someone else might have better results than I did. I did like the flavor combo otherwise.
