Chicken and Spinach Risotto in the Instant Pot

Step 1

Finely dice onion.

Step 2

Turn Instant Pot on saute. Place 2 Tablespoons of butter in the pot and melt. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent.

Step 3

Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces, about 1/2" cubes. Add to pot along with rice.  Cook until the chicken is lightly browned and rice is toasty. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Use the wine, or a cup of broth, to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Then add the salt, thyme, paprika, pepper and garlic. Turn off the Instant Pot.

Step 5

Pour in the remaining broth.  Then place the cover on top, closing the vent. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Allow pressure to naturally release for 7 minutes. Then manually release the remaining pressure.

Step 6

Stir in spinach, Parmesan cheese and remaining butter. Adjust seasoning to taste and enjoy!
