Equipment

Ingredients
- 4 cups Long grain white rice or whatever rice you prefer

Instructions
- First, rinse your 4 cups of rice in a strainer under cool water. Make sure it is washed at least 3 to 4 times or until the water runs clear.
- Then add the rice, chicken stock, ranch seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper to the instant pot.
- Stir everything together to combine.
- Press the rice setting on the Instant Pot, seal it, and allow it to cook. Each Instant Pot takes a different time so follow the instructions on your machine.
- After the final beeps letting you know its fully cooked, allow 10 minutes to slow release, if there is any pressure left do a manual release.

Notes
