Garlic powder and onion powder give it all the extra flavor it needs.

The cream cheese that’s added at the end is what really makes this a wonderfully delicious chicken and rice. Kids will love this Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Rice. It has a fair amount of garlic flavor, but it is not too strong.

Recipe Tips

  • You can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.
  • For best results, shred your own Parmesan cheese from a block of Parmesan instead of buying pre-shredded.

Instant Pot

I use the Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker and Warmer and love it. It can also be used as a slow cooker and a yogurt maker.

How To Serve

This chicken dish is very rich and creamy so I like to serve it with something light like a garden salad with Creamy Balsamic Dressing or Lemon Butter Broccoli.

Storage

Lefotvers reheat well. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days. Reheat in microwave.

The whole family will be happy with this Instant Pot meal. It is so, so easy to make.

Ingredients

Equipment Instant Pot

Steps

  1. 1

    Cut chicken into strips.

  2. 2

    Turn Instant Pot to "Saute" mode. Add butter. When melted add chicken and onion and cook until most of the pink in the chicken is gone.

  3. 3

    Add water, heavy cream and chicken soup. Stir.

  4. 4

    Add rice, sprinkling it in so that it is evenly distributed. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Do not stir.

  5. 5

    Place lid on. Make sure valve is in "sealing" position. Pressure Cook on HIGH for 5 minutes. Manually release pressure.

  6. 6

    Once the pin drops, remove lid and stir in cream cheese. Stir in Parmesan cheese, cheddar, and parsley. Place lid back on for a few minutes to melt cheese. Stir and serve. It will thicken up as it cools.

Notes

Note: Cooking time does not include time for Instant Pot to pressurize. This usually takes about 10 minutes but can vary.
