This healthy recipe for instant pot chicken and broccoli casserole uses rice and is super easy to make. This creamy casserole is a one pot meal made in under 30 minutes.
I'm going to say that this isn't the prettiest casserole I've ever made, but it is delicious. I used canned chicken in the recipe for convenience, but you could use raw chicken. If you choose to use raw chicken you will need to add some cooking time.
This recipe calls for wild rice. It is yummy in the recipe and I highly recommend you use it. If you choose to use white rice you may need to reduce the cooking time. Since the husk, bran and germ are removed from white rice it doesn't take as long to cook.
How do I clean my instant pot after cooking savory dishes?
After using your instant pot for savory dishes or in this case using broccoli you may notice that the silicone ring in the lid has an odor. This is simple to take care of!
Wash the metal pot insert by hand or in the dishwasher. Remove the rubber seal from the lid and wash both the lid and the ring. Place the ring back into the lid.
Put the metal pot into the pressure cooker. Add one cup water and one cup white vinegar to the metal pot. Place the lid on the pot and seal. Manually cook for 3 minutes. Let the steam release naturally.
After the liquid has cooled, dump it out and rinse the pot, lid and seal. Your pot, lid and seal shouldn't have any lingering odors.
