Instant Pot Chicken and Potato Rice

Instant pots have been popular for quite some time now and I’ve been wanting to try out some recipes. These recipes are popular all-over social media and I’ve even had some requests for Instant Pot Filipino recipes. I was lucky enough to buy one of these on sale over the holidays and this Instant Pot chicken and potato rice was the first one I made.

In this dish, the aromatics are first sautéed in the Instant Pot. Then, the rest of the ingredients are added including the rice and potatoes. This rice dish came out nice and dark in color, due to the dark soy sauce used. The dish reminds me of kiam pung (Chinese style flavored rice), which is one of my husband’s favorite. My family enjoyed this delicious rice dish. It’s a keeper!
