Ingredients

600 g chicken thighs
300 g long-grain rice
500 ml chicken broth
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic

Instructions

Saute onion and garlic for 2 minutes.
Add rinsed rice and broth; do not stir.
Lay seasoned chicken thighs on top.

Pressure cook High 12 minutes, natural release 10 minutes, then fluff.

💡 Chef's tip

Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes so the rice finishes steaming and the chicken stays juicy.

Layering the rice and liquid under the chicken (not stirring) keeps the rice from scorching on the bottom and lets the chicken juices season the grains.
