    I used brown rice instead of the flavored rice, and it worked great. A healthy and delicious meal!

    The rice was perfectly cooked, and the chicken was so tender. Will definitely make again!

    I found that 12 minutes under high pressure was enough for the chicken and rice to be perfectly cooked.

    My family loved this! I added some red pepper flakes for a bit of a kick.
