Golden Chicken and Rice

I am so looking forward to making this one. It is very important to WASH the rice before cooking it.

2 tsp coconut oil

1 small yellow onion

1 1/2 cups raw long grain brown rice WASHED

3 large carrots peeled and cut into diagonal 3/4" strips

2 large red bell peppers cut 3/4" strips

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp coriander

1 cup milk of choice

1 1/2 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 cup frozen peas-thawed

Freshly chopped cilantro for serving

Toasted coconut flakes for serving optional

1)Set on Saute mode. Add: coconut oil until it shimmers and add onion and cook 4 min.

2)Add the rice, carrot, red pepper, garlic, ginger, cumin, salt, turmeric and coriander. Stir to coat rice in oil and spices. cook 1 minute. Stir in a little splash of the milk stirring and scraping along the bottom/so there is no sticking. Stir in the remaining milk.

3) Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer on top of rice.

4) Cover and seal. Coon on HIGH PRESSURE for 20 MIN.. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 min. Then vent to release rest of steam.
