Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably left over)
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, and corn)
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil
– 2 large eggs
– 2 green onions, sliced
– Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

Creating Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Instant Pot: Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add vegetable oil.
2. Cook the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the diced chicken. Season it with salt and pepper and sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add minced garlic and mixed vegetables. Sauté until fragrant and slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Rice and Chicken: Stir in the cooked jasmine rice and the sautéed chicken. Mix well to combine.
5. Season the Mixture: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir everything until evenly coated.
6. Prepare Eggs: Move the rice mixture to one side of the pot. Crack the eggs into the other side and scramble them until fully cooked, then mix them into the rice.
7. Seal and Cook: Close the Instant Pot lid securely. Set to manual high pressure for 4 minutes.
8. Natural Release: After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes before turning the vent to release any remaining pressure.
9. Fluff and Serve: Open the lid, add sliced green onions, and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

By following these steps, you will have a hearty and flavorful dish in no time!
