Another easy Instant Pot side right here, folks! I love how my Instant Pot takes away the stress of trying to figure out dinner when you have four screaming kids in the house. I serve this simple and pleasing side with grilled chicken or black bean burgers.
Enjoy one of the easiest sides you’ll ever make!
Instant Pot Cheesy Broccoli Rice
This quick side dish comes together in no time!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock (can sub water)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add rice, water, broccoli florets, salt, and pepper to Instant Pot. Give a quick stir to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Place lid, set valve to sealing, and cook on manual pressure 12-15 minutes, depending on how "soft" you like your rice and broccoli. I usually set my timer for 14 minutes.
- Perform a quick release.
- Gently stir in shredded cheddar until melted. Enjoy!
Notes
No broccoli? Add chopped carrots instead. Out of cheddar? Substitute your favorite shredded cheese like Monterey Jack, Gruyere, Parmesan, Romano.
