Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth (or water)
- ½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers (with a bit of the juice)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- Sauté the Chicken: Set the Instant Pot to the Sauté function and add the olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- Cook the Rice: Pour the uncooked rice into the Instant Pot. Add the chicken broth and a splash of pepperoncini juice for flavor. Stir to combine.
- Add the Chicken and Pepperoncini: Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the rice. Scatter the sliced pepperoncini peppers over the chicken.
- Pressure Cook: Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on Manual/High Pressure for 10 minutes. After cooking, allow a natural release for 5 minutes, then do a quick release to let out the remaining pressure.
- Finish and Serve: Open the lid, fluff the rice, and check that the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F). Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
