(Defrost chicken before use, see tip below)

Instant Pot Instructions

1. Add chicken, rice, and 1¼ cup water to the pot. Give it a good stir.
2. SEAL and cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 8 minutes.
3. Once done, rest for 10 minutes, then VENT to release the remaining pressure. Remove the lid and mix well to incorporate the sauce evenly. Enjoy!

Stovetop Instructions

1. In a lidded heavy bottom pot, sauté chicken, rice, and sauce till the chicken is no longer pink ~5 minutes.
2. Add 1¼ cup hot water, scraping off all the brown bits stuck to the bottom to deglaze the pot. Bring to a boil.
3. Cover and cook on low heat until water is absorbed, 16-18 minutes.
4. Take off the stove and rest covered for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork. Enjoy!

Tip: The chicken may arrive frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it the same day, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 30 minutes.

Note: Salt is kept low, adjust to taste.

Garnish options: onions, yogurt/ raita.

Leftover tip: before reheating, add a splash of hot water to freshen the rice.
