6. IP take few mins to build up the pressure then the timer starts. Soon as it’s done do a quick release.
7. #Tip with instant pot when cooking onions and releasing pressure I place mine carefully on my cooker. So I can have the extractor on. Doing this near a open window also helps with the steam always be careful releasing the steam.
8. Once the pressure is released open lid carefully and give your chicken a stir there should be around 1 cup of chicken broth in there already..
9. Add rice saffron and a tablespoon of butter but not essential, and another 1/2 tsp of salt added to the cup of water & mix. Make sure rice is under water.
