Instructions
Instructions
- Cook your rice according to package instructions ahead of time. Make sure it’s not mushy but tender enough to absorb all the creamy sauce.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, water, and Lipton Onion Soup Mix until creamy.
- Slice chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl. Toss gently to coat the chicken with the sauce.
- Melt the tablespoon of butter and drizzle it over the mixture. Stir to spread the butter evenly.
- Transfer everything into a greased pressure cooker pot. Smooth the mixture out, then seal it with the lid and ensure the sealing ring is properly set.
- Lock down the valve to sealing position and set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 10 minutes. Listen for the valve hiss as it builds pressure.
- When cooking time is up, perform a quick release to let out the steam quickly.
- Open the lid carefully to reveal the creamy, comforting casserole. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Scoop out servings and enjoy the tender chicken and creamy rice combo, optionally paired with veggies on the side.
