Instant Pot/Air Fryer Combo Chicken & Rice

Serves 4

I know, it doesn’t really look that special, but it’s really, really good.

Ingredients

  • 2 frozen chicken thighs
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Seasoning salt (johnnys or other)
  • 2 cups of chicken stock
  • Garlic
  • 2 cups White Rice

Steps

  1. Season thighs with salt, pepper and seasoning salt.
  2. Pressure cook frozen thighs on a rack on high for 15 min (10 min if thawed). Add 2-ish cups of chicken stock and a few cloves of garlic to the pot. Add onions if you wish.
  3. Allow the pressure to naturally release.
  4. Take out the rack with the thighs and put on a plate. Save the broth mix.
  5. Add rice to the rice cooker pot and rinse.
  6. Use the broth mix in place of water for the rice.
  7. While the rice cooks, place the thighs back in the air fryer and air-fry skin up for 10 min at 390°F.
  8. Take the thighs out and use two forks to shred the meat. Add the meat back into the pot with cooked rice and air fry at 390°F for 5 min. Rice should be just turning golden brown in spots on top.
