I recently was wanting an Instant Pot coconut lime rice recipe. I was wanting for a side dish for a grilled chicken recipe that I am going to be sharing with you all tomorrow.

This is the recipe that I came up with after looking at several version online. I have been obsessed latley with basamati rice lately. I just love the long grains that it has. So that is what I used for this recipe. However, any other rice could also be used. Jamine rice would also be good to use.

This recipe turned out perfectly and was just the right compliment to the grilled chicken we had with it. Also, I used this same recipe a few days later and omited the lime zest for a straight up coconut rice to serve with another recipe and it was equally delicious with that. I will share that recipe with you on Thursday. It’s for a grilled chicken bowl. You are gonna love this whole week! After day the recipe will all be about grilling!
