Heat the IP Mini on saute until the display reads 'HOT.' Add the oil and chicken and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, just until the outside of the chicken is no longer pink.

Add the onion and cook for another two minutes, just to soften.

Add the seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon zest and stir for a minute until fragrant.

Add the chicken broth and stir to combine, deglazing the bottom of the pot as you stir. Make sure to completely scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom to avoid the dreaded 'BURN' warning.

Spread the orzo over the top in an even layer and press down without stirring up the liquid layer.

Lock the lid and cook on manual/high for 5 minutes followed by a quick pressure release before reopening the lid.

Stir in all of the remaining ingredients. Check for seasoning and adjust to your liking.
