Instant Pot Bourbon Chicken and Rice | Zatarain's Bourbon Chicken Rice Mix

Preheat the Instant Pot on the highest sauté setting and add the butter when the display reads 'HOT.' Then add the olive oil when the butter is almost completely melted. Add the chicken, onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until the veggies are just softened and the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.

Add the chicken broth and scrape up any stuck-on browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Spread the boxed rice mix over the top as evenly as possible and use a spoon or spatula to spread the rice and press it down into the liquid without stirring up the bottom.

Lock and seal the lid and cook on high for 4 minutes followed by a 10 minute natural pressure release. Then release any remaining pressure before opening the pot.

Stir in the chopped scallions and parsley and give it a taste test. Adjust seasonings to your liking. Then loosely cover and let sit for 10-15 minutes to let any excess liquid fully absorb into the rice.

Stir, serve, and ENJOY!
