Ingredients

  • 1 cups long grain white rice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 12- ounce package frozen broccoli florets
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese

Instructions

  • Rinse rice thoroughly until water runs clear.
  • Add rice to bowl of Instant Pot. Top with chicken broth and milk.
  • Season with salt, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika.
  • Add butter and frozen broccoli. Stir to combine.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and seal the vent. Set to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • When the cook time is up, do a natural release for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
  • Remove the lid from the pot and add the cheese. Stir to combine.

Notes

  • Rinse rice with water to remove excess starch.
  • Make sure you allow your pressure cooker to naturally release pressure for at least 10 minutes.
  • Stir your cheese in while your rice is still hot so that it melts quickly.
