My family loved this Instant Pot chicken and wild rice meal. It’s definitely gonna be a frequent Instant Pot dinner now. Using cooked chicken is what helps make this such a quick meal. I love to use rotisserie chicken here. It’s always tender and flavorful.

This all begins by melting some butter on sauté mode. Then you add in what is known in French cooking as a mirepoix – diced onion, carrots, and celery. You cook this for about 4 minutes, until the onions are tender. Next, you add in the rice and coat it with the butter. The rice comes from a package of Uncle Ben’s original long grain and wild rice. Once you coat the rice, it’s time to turn off the sauté mode.

Add in the cooked chicken, seasoning packet, and green beans next. Now it’s time to cover and cook. This just cooks for 5 minutes on high pressure. After that, wait for 5 minutes allowing the pressure to release naturally. Then release any remaining pressure manually. Give it a stir and it’s ready to eat.
