  • 3 Tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Set the Instant Pot to 'saute' and add in the oil and butter.
  • Once melted, add in the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes, just to get some color on it.
  • Add in the veggies, salt, and pepper, and let everything cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the rice and water.
  • Seal and lock the lid making sure the vent is closed.
  • Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
