Will Arroz Con Pollo Work in the Instant Pot?

This Arroz Con Pollo recipe asks to use un-rinsed rice, based on my reading that unrinsed rice is less likely to stick in your Instant Pot. It also reduces sautéing to a minimum, since if something is going to stick, it’s likely to be caused due to burning during this stage.

Minimal chopping, a few minutes on the saute setting, and then just 6 minutes of cooking at high pressure! Arroz Con Pollo will be a new meal in your weekly rotation!
