Description

An old school casserole made with tender shredded chicken, a buttery cracker topping, and fluffy rice for an easy family-friendly meal. Made with the help of your Instant Pot. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 Tbsp Better than Bouillon
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken and herbs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers, crushed
  • 4 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups converted rice

Instructions

  1. Add chicken, water, Better than Bouillon, salt, and garlic powder into Instant Pot. 
  2. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set manual/pressure cook button to 12 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. 
  3. Heat oven to 350° F.
  4. Move chicken out of Instant Pot and place it in a mixing bowl and shred it. (I used my hand mixer to shred it quickly). Stir the cream of chicken and sour cream into the chicken. Spread the mixture into a 9×13 inch pan. 
  5. Mix the crushed Ritz with the melted butter and sprinkle it over the top of the chicken.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes on the middle rack.
  7. Meanwhile add the rice into the liquid in the Instant Pot. Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid, make sure valve is set to sealing. Set manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move valve to venting.
  8. Serve the chicken casserole over the rice.
