To make this Instant Pot Bacon Parmesan Chicken and Rice, I started by cutting some boneless skinless chicken breasts into one inch chunks.

Then I set my Instant Pot to Saute Less for 7 minutes.

I added a dab of margarine to the pot along with some garlic puree.

I also added the chicken breast chunks to the pot.

I left the chicken to cook, stirring occasionally, until the Instant Pot turned off.

The chicken was still slightly pink.

I added some water to the pot and stirred well making sure none of the chicken was sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Then I added some salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to the pot.

I added some long grain white rice to the pot.

I gently pushed the rice down until it was all submerged in the liquid but did not stir.

I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 6 minutes.

When the Instant Pot was done cooking, I immediatley turned the steam release handle to the venting position and performed a quick release.

I removed the lid and stirred the contents well.

Then I added some heavy cream, shredded Parmesan cheese and crumbled bacon to the pot.

I stirred well and then set the Instant Pot to Saute Less for 4 minutes.

I left the dish to continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the Instant Pot turned off.

Then the parmesan chicken and rice was ready to serve.

This hearty Instant Pot chicken dinner is perfect for cold weather.
