Makes about 4 servings.  \n\n---\n\n## Ingredients\n\n- 1\u00bd lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1\u00bd-2\u2033 pieces  \n- 1 cup long grain white rice (e.g. Jasmine or standard long grain)  \n- 1\u00be cups low-sodium chicken broth (plus extra for saut\u00e9ing/deglazing)  \n- 1 medium onion, diced  \n- 2 cloves garlic, minced  \n- 1 tablespoon olive oil  \n- 1 teaspoon paprika  \n- \u00bd teaspoon dried thyme or oregano  \n- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste  \n- Optional: 1 cup mixed frozen veggies (peas & carrots works well)  \n- Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), for garnish  \n\n---\n\n## Directions\n\n1. **Prep & Season**  \n   Pat chicken thighs dry. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.  \n\n2. **Saut\u00e9**  \n   Turn your Instant Pot Duo to *Saut\u00e9* and add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Sear about 3 minutes per side just until lightly browned (you\u2019re not cooking through). Remove chicken and set aside.  \n\n3. **Saut\u00e9 Aromatics**  \n   Add diced onion to the pot, cook 2-3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.  \n\n4. **Deglaze**  \n   Pour in a splash of chicken broth (about \u00bc cup), using a wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits stuck to the bottom.  \n\n5. **Layer Rice + Chicken**  \n   Add the rice, spreading it in an even layer. Season lightly (maybe a pinch more salt, paprika if desired). Nestle the seared chicken thighs on top of the rice. If using, stir in frozen veggies around the edges. Avoid stirring the chicken deeply into the rice layer so rice doesn\u2019t clump or burn.  \n\n6. **Add Remaining Broth**  \n   Pour in the rest of the chicken broth (1\u00bd cups), just enough so the rice is covered.\n\n7. **Pressure Cook**  \n   Close the lid and seal the vent. Set to *Pressure Cook* (High) for **5 minutes**.  \n\n8. **Natural Release + Finish**  \n   After the 5-minute cook, allow a **10-minute Natural Pressure Release** (i.e. don\u2019t touch the vent yet). After 10 minutes, carefully turn the vent to release any remaining pressure.  \n\n9. **Fluff & Serve**  \n   Open the lid, fluff rice with a fork, gently mix so chicken is embedded with the rice and veggies. Taste; adjust salt & pepper. Garnish with fresh herbs.  \n\n---\n\n## Tips & Variations\n\n- **Prevent mushy rice:** Don\u2019t overcook. Long grain white rice + 5 minutes pressure cook + natural release gives tender but not mushy rice.  \n- **Flavor boost:** You can add a splash of white wine or lemon juice during the deglaze step.  \n- **Vegetables:** If using veggies with short cook times (e.g. spinach), stir in after pressure cooking so they stay fresh.  \n- **Spice it up:** Add chopped bell pepper or red pepper flakes during saut\u00e9 if you like heat.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want exact measurements converted to metric, or want suggestions to use brown rice (which will alter timing), I can help with that too!"
