To make this buffalo chicken dish, I started by cutting some boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite sized chunks.

Then I set my Instant Pot to Saute Less for 7 minutes.

I added a dab of margarine to the pot.

Then I added the chicken breast chunks to the pot.

I left the chicken pieces to cook, stirring occasionally, until the Instant Pot turned off.

The chicken breast chunks were still slightly pink.

Then I added some condensed chicken broth and water to the pot.

I added some long grain white rice to the pot.

I gently pushed the rice around until it was all submerged in the liquid, but did not stir.

Then I added some salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the pot.

I also added some buffalo sauce to the pot.

Then I added some diced celery and onions to the pot.

I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 6 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was finished cooking, I immediately turned the steam release handle to the venting position and performed a quick release.

I removed the lid from the Instant Pot.

Then I stirred the contents well.

I added some ranch dressing and shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese to the pot.

I stirred just until the cheese was melted.

Then the cheesy buffalo chicken and rice was ready to serve.

I used mild buffalo sauce for just a bit of a kick but you could use hot if you prefer.
