Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice Recipe.


Ingredients:


1/2 TBSP vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1 TSP fresh garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken breast (about 25 oz), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 TSP salt
1/4 TSP ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups long grain rice (such as jasmine rice or basmati rice), rinsed well
1 cup chicken broth or water
1/2 cup peas, frozen
1/2 TBSP green onions (about 1 full stem), chopped
1 TBSP soy sauce (or to taste)
1 TSP sesame oil


Recipe Instructions:


Turn on the sauté function on the Instant Pot.
Heat oil over high heat for 2 minutes until the hot oil sizzles.
Add beaten eggs, and stir until scrambled and cooked through, about 1 minute.
Add carrots, garlic and chicken and sauté until evenly mixed and tender, about 2 minutes.
Chicken does not need to be fully cooked through at this point.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add rice and broth (or water) and stir well until evenly mixed.
There should be about 1/2-inch of liquid above the mixture.
Adding too much liquid will make fried rice more mushy.
Switch to pressure cooking mode on manual high and seal the lid.
Let the fried rice pressure cook for 3 minutes.
Once the time is up, let the fried rice sit in the pot for another 8-10 minutes.
This allows the pressure to release slowly, making rice and chicken tender.
Quick release the remaining pressure.
Remove the lid and turn back on the sauté mode.
Stir in peas, green onions, soy sauce and sesame oil and cook on high heat until the frozen peas are tender, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately.
