Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Rice
  • 2 ½ cups Water
  • 1 Zucchini Sliced
  • 1 Yellow Squash Sliced
  • 2 Roma Tomatoes Diced
  • ⅓ cup Feta Cheese
  • 2 sprigs of oregano
  • 3 Sprigs Thyme
  • 1 Rotisserie Chicken Shredded

Instructions
 

  • In your inner pot, add rice, water, squash, oregano, thyme, and zucchini.
  • Press pressure cook or manual button and set to 4 minutes.
  • Once the instant pot stops counting it will beep and start counting up. Leave it for 5 minutes then release pressure.
  • Once the pressure is released stir in precooked chicken and tomatoes.
  • Serve topped with feta cheese and serve.

Notes

Don't stir the rice! Any rice can get the burn notice. Just allow the rice to be pushed down into the liquid, but don't stir it to the bottom.
Cook chicken along side rice and veggies. If you don't have precooked chicken, you can cook your own Instant Pot Poached Chicken in a few minutes.
Naturally release the pressure. Because you are putting a lot of water in the Instant Pot, letting it naturally release for 5 minutes will prevent any fluids from spewing out of the valve.
