Notes
If you decide to use brown rice, make sure to cook it separately and reduce the amount of broth in the Instant Pot by one cup.
Swap out the broccoli for another kind of steamed vegetable like cauliflower.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave, a pan on the stovetop or the Instant Pot using the sauté function.
Freeze this recipe for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat as normal.
