  • Total Time: 36 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

2 tsp vegetable oil, divided

2 eggs, whisked

3 garlic cloves, minced

1¼ cups chicken broth

1 lb chicken breast, diced

1 cup diced carrots

1½ cups jasmine rice, rinsed

½ cup frozen peas

34 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add 1 tsp of vegetable oil and cook the whisked eggs until scrambled. Remove and set aside.

  2. Add the remaining 1 tsp of oil to the pot, followed by the minced garlic. Sauté briefly until fragrant.

  3. Deglaze the pot with the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Then, layer in the chicken, carrots, and rice. Do not stir.

  4. Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on High Pressure for 3 minutes.

  5. Let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then carefully quick-release any remaining pressure.

  6. Stir in the scrambled eggs, peas, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by microwaving or sautéing in a skillet.

  • You can substitute brown rice or other vegetables based on your preferences.

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add extra vegetables or tofu.
