The cut up chicken.

I added oil to the Pot and then added the chicken breast slices.

Starting the chicken in the Instant Pot.

I left the chicken breast slices to cook, stirring them occasionally.

When the Instant Pot turned off, the chicken breasts slices still had some pink remaining.

Next I added some water and scraped the bottom of the Pot to deglaze it.

After deglazing I added some long grain and wild rice.  Do not stir.

I poured carrot ginger soup, some chicken broth , garlic, ginger and pepper on top of the rice.

Adding the liquid and the spices.

Then 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 8 minutes.

When the Instant Pot was done cooking, I allowed it to natural release for 3 minutes.

To finish I turned the steam release handle to the venting position with a quick release.

Once I removed the lid from the Instant Pot I stirred everything together.
