Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in your pressure cooker pot.
- Add the diced celery, carrots, and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Add the onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the orzo pasta so it is coated with butter and spices.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and simmer, stirring, until orzo is tender and most liquid absorbed (10–12 minutes).
- Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter until melted and creamy. Then, stir in diced chicken.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Perform quick release if needed.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with herbs or cracked pepper.
Notes
You can use rotisserie chicken or frozen veggies for shortcuts; just adjust seasoning and make sure veggies are softened before combining.
