Instructions

  • Cut the chicken into thick strips, and set aside.
    2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Add the liner to the Instant Pot, then add the oil and hit the SAUTE button. Add the chicken to the pot, cooking just until it's seared on both sides and slightly pink. Press the CANCEL button.
    1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Add the broth, soup, lemon juice, rice, and 1 1/2 tbsp seasoning to the pot and DO NOT stir.
    2 3/4 cups chicken broth, 1 10.5 oz can condensed cream of chicken soup, 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 cups long grain wild rice, 2 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • Add the lid turning it to close, turn the vent valve to the sealed position, and pressure cook for 10 minutes. Allow the pot to naturally release pressure for 3 minutes, then carefully open the vent valve to release the remaining trapped steam.
  • Add the butter and remaining seasoning, stirring to combine. Cover the pot with the lid, but leave the vent valve open, and let it sit for 15 minutes while the sauce thickens.
    1/4 cup butter
  • Serve & enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the chicken is cut into more or less equal sized thick strips so it cooks evenly.
  • Using a pair of kitchen shears will help cut the chicken quickly.
  • Want more flavor? Add a little crushed fresh garlic.
