Equipment

  • Instant pot

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsb Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Butter Salted or unsalted to taste. I used salted.
  • 1 Large Onion Diced
  • 5 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp Thyme Dried
  • 454 g Chicken (cooked)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 500 g Arborio rice Long grain rice would be ok.
  • 50 ml White wine Optional
  • 800 ml Chicken stock Vegetable stock would be fine.
  • 200 g Peas Frozen
  • 75 g Parmesan Grated

Instructions

  • Set the instant pot to saute and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. When melted, add the onion and soften for around 3 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme. Cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the chicken and cook for a further 2 minutes (stirring occasionally). Season to taste with the salt and pepper.
  • Add the rice and white wine, cook for approximately 1 more minute whilst stirring continuously.
  • Once the rice has absorbed the liquid, add the chicken stock, deglaze the pot if necessary and set the instant pot to 3 minutes on high pressure. Allow to rest for 4 minutes and then perform a quick release.
  • Stir in the peas and add the remaining tablespoon of butter followed by the grated parmesan. Allow to warm through for approximately 2 minutes.
  • Serve straight away and enjoy.
