Notes, Tips and FAQs

• COOKING RICE IN AN INSTANT POT – It is easy to cook rice in an Instant Pot. There are just a couple of considerations. For burrito bowls, we like to cook the rice right in the same pot as everything else. To do this the right way, you’ll need to pay attention to your grain to liquid ratio for the type of rice you choose to make your burrito bowls with. In this recipe, I used 3 cups of chicken broth because the ratio for wild rice is  1:3.
• TOO MUCH LIQUID AFTER COOKING? – When I opened my IP, the mixture had a little too much liquid. If this happens to you I suggest to just use a slotted spoon to spoon the mixture into bowls. This is safer (to follow the grain to liquid ratio and have there be extra liquid) rather than having it burn in your IP or open to find the rice is not done.  For more tips on using your pressure cooker be sure to check out our guide on converting recipes to your Instant Pot.
• DO YOU HAVE TO USE CHICKEN BREASTS? – You don’t. You could substitute for Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs if you’d like. Cooking chicken thighs in a pressure cooker makes them always come out super tender!

Notes

**For cooking rice, you'll need to pay attention to your grain to liquid ratio for the type of rice you choose to make your burrito bowls with. In this recipe I used 3 cups of chicken broth because the ratio for wild rice is  1:3. The cooking time for wild rice is 20-30 mins so that is why I chose the multigrain function.

When I opened my IP, the mixture had a little too much liquid. If this happens to you I suggest to just use a slotted spoon to spoon the mixture into bowls. This is safer (to follow the grain to liquid ratio and have there be extra liquid) rather than having it burn in your IP or open to find the rice is not done.
