Ultimate Instant Pot Chicken Congee Recipe: A Flavorful Delight
  • Prep Time

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of raw short-grain white rice
  • A tablespoon of olive oil
  • A boneless, skinless chicken breast weighing around 14 ounces
  • 6 cups of chicken broth
  • A fresh ginger piece grated, measuring around 2 inches
  • A fresh corn ear, husked
  • Salt and ground black pepper to add flavor
  • Topping:
  • 3 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 6 teaspoons of black sesame seeds
  • 6 teaspoons of spicy chili crisp sauce

Step 1

Begin by giving the rice a refreshing rinse under cold, running water until it glistens like a crystal-clear stream. Allow it to rest for a moment as you prepare the stage for your culinary magic.

Step 2

In the meantime, ignite the multi-functional pressure cooker, like the versatile Instant Pot®, and bring its Saute function to life. Watch as the oil dances in the heat, coaxing the chicken to a golden-brown perfection on all sides in a mesmerizing ballet of sizzles and scents. Take your time, around 8 minutes, ensuring each side gets its fair share of the spotlight before elegantly flipping it over. As the savory aromas envelop you, introduce a splash of chicken broth to the Instant Pot®, using a wooden spatula to coax out the flavorful remnants clinging to the bottom. With finesse, bid adieu to the Saute function and graciously invite the drained rice, ginger, and the rest of the broth to join the culinary affair.

Step 3

Embrace the corn cob, skillfully extracting its tender kernels and breaking the cob into three charming pieces. Let them mingle with the other ingredients in the pot, each adding its own unique flair to the culinary ensemble. As the lid is sealed, setting the stage for the grand performance, select the Porridge function and set the timer for 30 minutes, allowing the pressure to build its crescendo over the next 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 4

When the time is ripe, release the pressure using the natural-release method, as per the manufacturer's guidance, a meditative 15 minutes of anticipation. Lift the lid with a sense of wonder, bidding farewell to the corn cob pieces as they gracefully exit the stage. Tenderly extract the chicken breast, shredding it with the gentle touch of two forks before allowing it to reunite with the congee, creating a symphony of flavors. Season this masterpiece with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of pepper, blending the elements harmoniously.

Step 5

As the curtain rises on the final act, divvy up the congee amongst 6 awaiting bowls, each a canvas for your culinary artistry. Crown each bowl with a generous sprinkle of vibrant spring onions, a smattering of toasty sesame seeds, and a dollop of fiery chili crisp, adding a crescendo of flavors and textures to this culinary symphony.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Embrace the power of glass jars: Store your congee in clear glass jars to showcase the beautiful layers of flavor and ingredients.
  2. 2. Utilize the freezer: Divide leftovers into individual portions and freeze them for quick and easy meals on busy days.
  3. 3. Get creative with labeling: Use colorful and fun labels to make it easy to identify different batches of congee in your storage area.
