I added the chicken breast slices to the pot and cooked them until almost no pink remained.

Then I turned my Instant Pot off.

I added some water, heavy cream and cream of chicken soup to the pot.

I stirred the contents of the Instant Pot gently and then added some long grain white rice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.

I did not stir after adding the rice.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, locked it in place and turned the steam release handle to the sealing position.

I turned on the Pressure Cook High setting for 7 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I immediately opened the steam release handle to do a quick release.

I removed the lid once the float valve dropped all the way down.

Then I added some shredded Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes to the pot.

If you don't scrape the bottom of the pot after you saute the chicken you will get burnt notice. Otherwise I love this recipe!

I followed recipe exactly and got the burn signal twice I’m going to add an extra cup of water next time. It was delicious! I think next time I’m going to add roasted tomatoes and sausage instead chickenMaybe cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken also

I made this exact recipe but at the end I put it into a casserole dish. Added a thin layer of cheddar cheese and crunched corn flakes to the top and bake for 30 min at 375. AMAZING.

I followed exactly and it was so good. My husband raved about it. Definitely will make again. Thanks for recipe! I have a five quart and had no problems.

So very good. Followed the directions exactly. This is not a dry fluffy rice dinner. Very creamy and cheesy. Husband loved it.
