Pressure Cooker Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Recipe
I started by pressure cooking the rice with my rice setting. While the rice is going, cut the chicken into bite size pieces. When the rice is done, transfer it to a bowl and rinse the pot. Next, lightly steam the broccoli about half way 2 to 3 minutes in the pressure cooker. Then saute the chicken and start the sauce bring it all back together and dinner is served.
This is perfect for families on the go that need a quick but hearty, healthy meal. We are still experimenting but expect to have many other recipes soon.
