Kentucky Chicken Casserole
This easy one pot meal is perfect for a busy weeknight. It only calls for 5 ingredients and takes just 10-15 minutes of prep time. It has lots of yummy flavor from the rice seasonings and the parmesan cheese. The yogurt adds a creamy tanginess. (This recipe is adapted from Kentucky Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole on Food.com).

Steps
Pour water into Instant Pot. Sprinkle in the rice from the rice-a-roni. Add the chicken on top and then sprinkle the seasoning packets from the rice-a-roni on top of the chicken.
Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set 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.

Notes/Tips
- This dish is pretty complete on its own, but if you want to round it out, serve it with a green salad or some fresh fruit.
- Try adding in some sauteed mushrooms when you add in the chicken.
- Try substituting green beans for asparagus.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
- This recipe can easily be cut in half to serve 3 instead of 6.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with greek yogurt are Christmas in July Casserole and Awesome Casserole.
