    This easy and healthy recipe for Instant Pot Wild Rice, Chicken and Mushrooms is simple to make all in one pot. I love using my Instant Pot (pressure cooker) for fast meals! This gluten free recipe is creamy with cheese and sour cream.

    This is one of those meals that is really quick to make and since it's all in one pot the clean up is super simple too. I like to use fresh mushrooms in this recipe, but you could easily substitute those for canned mushrooms.

    We usually have all of these ingredients on hand so this meal is quick to put together on those nights when I haven't planned ahead. I love that I can set my Instant Pot and it's cooking dinner while I get other things done.

    This recipe is great year round. During the summer I set my Instant Pot outside on the picnic table so I don't have steam releasing in my cool house. I cook the recipe per the instructions and then using pot holders lift out the pot when it's done and serve. So simple!

    Can an Instant Pot cook rice?

    Yes! I like to cook the rice before adding dairy to the meal. I cook the rice along with liquids (I like to use broth), veggies and meat that need to be cooked.

    Then after the Instant Pot has naturally released pressure I add the sour cream, milk and cheese. Adding these items after everything is cooked will prevent it from burning on the bottom of your Instant Pot.

    Will the Instant Pot open under pressure?

    No. You should never try to open your Instant Pot while it's still under pressure. For this recipe you will add your ingredients, set the Instant Pot to manual pressure for 15 minutes and then let the pressure naturally release.

    To naturally release the pressure means you don't move the steam valve. You can unplug your Instant Pot or leave it on low while the pressure naturally releases.

    If you manually release pressure for this recipe your rice likely won't be cooked all the way. The food in your Instant Pot will continue to cook while the pressure is naturally releasing.
