This is a basic super quick side dish that can be jazzed up with anything you like. Try it with a few frozen veggies or broccoli, or spice it up with seasonings or a little salsa! Or even stir in some leftover meat and make it a main dish!
Equipment
instant pot 6 quart
Ingredients
4cupsLong grain white riceor whatever rice you prefer
4cupsChicken broth or stock
2TablespoonsRanch seasoning
1TablespoonGarlicminced
Salt and pepper to taste
Add these after the rice is cooked
8TablespoonsUnsalted butteror 1 stick cut into pieces
1.5cupMilk
3cupsShredded cheddar cheeseor your preferred cheese
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.
Then add the cubed butter, 1.5 cup of milk and shredded cheese. Mix well and place the lid back on to the keep warm setting for 3 minutes.
Then It's ready to serve.
Notes
I love to use the instant pot to make rice because it's very easy to use. It taste great and ties very well with chicken or a bigger main dish.
