My husband (married 43 yrs) is learning to cook because I can't stand up/ walk. He picked this recipe. So glad he did. I was able to teach him the basics and helped with mincing the parsley. He did a great job. Love it and sharing recipe with daughters. Thank you so much.

I have made this 5 times now, I love it! My only slight variation is that I use 3 cups of rinsed Jasmine rice and still 4 cups of chicken broth. I use 6 chicken breasts and leave them whole, otherwise they get lost in the rice. I use pre-shredded Parmesan and 1 cup works perfectly with this particular ratio. I can feed a small army with this, and it’s always a hit! Thank you so much for this recipe! I serve it with a salad or green vegetable on the side.

I love the recipes you post and have made many of them. I’ve done this one many times and modified a bit for taste and to keep the rice from turning to mush. I’m not saying anyone should follow what I do but it works for me and wanted to let you know the change.
I use roughly 3lbs boneless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch or smaller chunks
Sauté the onions and carrots for 10 minutes then add the chicken stirring occasionally for another 15min.
Add 3 cups of chicken broth
1 can of coconut milk
2 cups jasmine rice
Cooking for 7 mins instead of 10 keeps the rice from turning to mush. I immediately release the pressure at 7 mins stir in the cheese and take right out of the pot so the rice stops cooking. Thanks for all your videos and great recipe choices❤

I must have been living under a rock. I did not know you can cook meals that fast in a instant pot. I'm buying one asap!

This girl knows her cooking! Just made this and its ...also her laugh is contagious. Love her positivity

[chrisbrennan]

This dish is soo delicious. I made it last night with one little change. I did 3 1/2 cups of chicken broth and added a 10oz can of cream of chicken soup. The family crushed it. Thank you so much for sharing.

Before 5 years I started cooking because of you and now many people asking me to start my own foods business. Thank u ❤ this is the first recipe I tried to cook it and copy each step from you. I watched the video with big smile and memories.

I have made this recipe three times in the Instant Pot and I love it. I have a 3 quart Instant Pot, and I use 1 cup of rice and 1 and 1/4 cups of water. I use one piece of chicken (I used chicken thighs) cut up and I use a handful of veggies. I make it a little different than in the video, and I use spinach along with the carrots, and I use different spices - cloves, garam masala, cumin, and cayenne pepper. And I use a bay leaf! This is a great recipe because you can tailor it to your needs. Thanks!

I've watched this video 3 times since I got my Instapot and still laugh everytime Natasha releases the pressure. She is quite the entertainer.

Hi, I made this today and it was delicious. The rice was a tad overcooked so next time I will reduce the pressure cooking time. I added some finely cut celery. Next time I shall add some peas.

You should do more instant pot recipes 😍 and I’m going to try this in my new instant pot I got! Thank you 😊

[karenwoodruff]

Made this today using one of our jumbo Cornish Cross meat chickens & this will now be on my monthly menu! This was one delicious meal!!! After taste testing it when it was done, I mashed the garlic cloves into paste like consistency, stirred it in & voila, instant flavor boost! I served it with baked sweet potatoes. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!!! Your recipes never disappoint!!! You are a gem! Again, thanks!!!

[donnawaldron]
