This was an easy dish. My modifications: used chicken thighs instead of breast, cut the smoked paprika in half (still too smoky for my liking) and used 1 cup of water. I make a lot of instant pot chicken & rice dishes and the ratio of 1:1 rice to liquid always works. Finally, I cooked for 6 min and quick released pressure.

I subbed 1/4 cup of white wine for the chic broth, and added a generous handful of frozen peas after cooking. Yummy, fast and easy.

I wanted to like this one —great spices and ingredients we love but following the directions perfectly, this came out with the long grain white rce altogether too “wet” and gummy. It was more like a wet risotto in texture. I stirred it, tasted it for rice “doneness” (it had a bit of tooth and “firmness” still). I resealed the pot, reset for two minutes and then allowed six minutes of natural release and opened to slight burning on pan bottom and “still” too mushy. Note; Rice is fresh within two weeks of purchase and stored in sealed container. Tips, please, for success??? I want to like this!!!

In reply to Gayle H. Hi Gayle - since the initial comments last week, I did correct the post, and tomato paste is listed in the ingredients right below oregano. It's just a little bit to add some color and sweetness. Enjoy!

In line with the previous comment: Step 2 of the instructions mentions adding the tomato paste, but there is no tomato paste listed in the ingredients.

I did this recipe tonight but used brown rice. What I did was saute the chicken and then mix in all the spices. Removed the chicken/spice mixture to a bowl. Then cooked the brown rice for 18 minutes. Did a QR. Mixed in the chicken and the veggies. Cooked again for 4 minutes with a 10 minute NR. Added the lemon juice. It turned out to be very good. Maybe my timings were off, but…..? Also, fyi, also added in a jalapeno pepper. Sans the seeds. Kicked it up a notch. Good recipe.

In reply to Deb. Hi Deb - yes, you can double this recipe with no change in cooktime.
