Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken diced
  • 1/2 Cup Onion diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Frozen Peas and Carrots
  • 1 1/2 Cups Basmati Rice
  • 2 1/2 Cups Vegetable or Chicken Broth
  • 2 TBSP Sesame Oil
  • 2 TBSP Butter
  • 2 TBSP Hoisin Sauce
  • 1/3 Cup Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper to taste
  • Sliced Green Onions for serving
  • Sesame Seeds for serving

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken in one tablespoon of sesame oil, the hoisin sauce, salt, pepper and a tablespoon of soy sauce for about 30 minutes.
  • Turn the instant pot to sauté mode and allow it to preheat for 2-3 minutes before adding the butter and sesame oil. When the butter has melted, add the diced onions, garlic and rice and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until lightly toasted.
  • Add the broth, frozen vegetables, soy sauce and salt/pepper then stir well.
  • Place the lid on the instant pot, turn the venting knob to "sealing."
  • Cook the rice on high pressure for 4 minutes. Allow the pressure to release for 10 minutes then quickly release the remaining pressure.
  • While the rice is cooking, scramble the eggs in a pan and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until done.
  • When the rice has finished cooking, add the chicken and eggs to the instant pot and stir to combine. Add more soy sauce and seasonings if needed.
  • Top the chicken fried rice with sliced green onions and sesame seeds and then serve.
