To make this Instant Pot chicken and rice, I started by slicing some boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips.

Then I turned on my Instant Pot on the Saute Normal setting.

I added some margarine to the Instant Pot as it was heating up.

Then I added the sliced chicken breasts to the pot.

I cooked the chicken breast slices until almost no pink remained.

I added some water, heavy cream, condensed chicken broth and condensed tomato soup to the Instant Pot and stirred gently.

Then I added some long grain white rice, salt, pepper and basil pesto to the pot.

I did not stir after adding the rice.

I placed the lid on the Instant Pot and turned it to the locked position.

Then I turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 5 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking I turned the steam release handle to the venting position for a quick release.

When the steam release valve had gone down completely, I removed the lid from the Instant Pot.

Then I added some shredded mozzarella cheese to the pot.

I stirred the chicken and rice until the cheese was melted and then left it to sit for a few minutes before serving so that the sauce could thicken.

This easy Instant Pot chicken recipe is adult and kid friendly.
