Recipe Tips

If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can still make this recipe by cooking the chicken and orzo in a large, covered skillet. Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it's cooked through, then add the orzo and other ingredients. Cover and simmer until the orzo is cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes.

If you like your food with a little extra kick, you can add some diced jalapeño peppers to the recipe. Or, you can add a teaspoon of chipotle powder for a smoky flavor.
