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

Then I set my Instant Pot to Saute Less for 7 minutes and added a dab of margarine to the pot.

I dumped the chunks of chicken breast into the pot and left them to cook, stirring occasionally.

When the Instant Pot turned off, the chicken was still slightly pink.

Then I added some water to the pot with the chicken and scraped the bottom of the pot well, to make sure nothing was sticking.

I added some salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to the pot and did not stir.

I added some long grain white rice to the pot.

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

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 6 minutes.

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

I removed the lid from the Instant Pot.

Then I stirred the contents of the pot well and added some milk, salsa con queso cheese sauce and chopped broccoli florets to the pot.

I stirred until all of the ingredients were fully combined and then set the Instant Pot to Saute Less for 5 minutes.

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

Then I added some shredded Parmesan, cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the pot.

I stirred until the cheese was melted.

Then the dish was ready to serve!

This extra cheesy chicken and rice dish is sure to please the whole family.
