Cook Time
This dish takes about 30 minutes to cook in the Instant Pot. This includes the time it takes for the pot to come to pressure, which is about 10 minutes. Once the cooking is complete, you’ll need to allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes.

1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup white rice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting. When the pot is hot, add the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cumin, paprika, salt and pepper, and stir. Add the chicken thighs and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the chicken broth and white rice, and stir. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the valve to the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 8 minutes. When the cooking is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes.
3. Carefully open the lid and stir in the parsley. Serve the chicken and rice with your favorite side dish.
