Besides the fact that I made a total mess of the kitchen today at every step (starting with accidentally forgetting to put water into the oatmeal this morning before I put the bowl into the microwave), this came out fabulously and is worth making now while it’s wintry somewhere – although here it’s 70 degrees, but, whatever. I will definitely make this again and again. Everyone inhaled it, veggies and all.
Ingredients:
- Three boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 an onion, finely diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 parsnip, (yes, you guessed it), diced
- 1 smallish turnip, diced
- bayleaf, herbs de provance, salt, pepper
- 2 cups arborio rice
Steps:
- Saute the onion and aromatics using the “saute” feature on the pot until onions are browned
- Add everything else
- Add 10 cups of water
- Set the pressure cooker feature on high for 20 minutes
- When it’s done, use slow release. I tried using the fast release and it just added to the list of things that made a total mess of my kitchen for the day, squirting ricey broth everywhere.
- Shred the chicken (it will just fall apart)
- Serve piping hot (unless you have kids, in which case, pop an ice cube in there before serving).
- Enjoy!
