Cooking chicken and rice in a pressure cooker will allow you to create a delicious, homemade meal in a matter of minutes. Pressure cookers trap steam inside of the pot, expediting the cooking time and making it an ideal meal option for when you are short on time. Furthermore, cooking the recipe in a pressure cooker is a simple process that only requires mixing together the ingredients in the cooker. These qualities make the recipe perfect for dinners after long days of work when you lack energy.
