Description

A savory Instant Pot dinner with crispy bacon, tender chicken, and flavorful rice cooked with mushrooms, spinach, and a punch of onion-mushroom seasoning, finished with optional melty mozzarella cheese for an easy, comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 strips of bacon, cut into half inch pieces
  • 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic or red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup converted rice
  • 6-8 chicken tenderloins
  • 1 package Lipton's Onion Mushroom soup mix
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the bacon and fry until crispy. Use tongs to place bacon pieces on a paper towel lined plate and set aside. 
  2. Discard all but 2 Tbsp of the bacon grease. Add the mushrooms into the pot with the 2 Tbsp of bacon grease. Saute for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Pour in the vinegar and broth. Scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
  4. Sprinkle in the rice. Place chicken in one layer on top of the rice. Sprinkle the soup mix over the chicken.
  5. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  6. Stir in the spinach and bacon. If desired stir in a half cup or shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Serve and enjoy!
