Will make again. Needed an extra 5 minutes of cook time, due to the rice still being crunchy. Added extra broth for a stew like texture. Can’t go wrong!

In reply to Rachael. No, you don't have to increase the time as long as you don't overcrowd the pot. You will want to increase the liquid if adding more rice. You can always check it and add 5 to 7 minutes if it's not ready to pull. I just made this on Friday night and the grandkids loved it.

If I did a double batch, should I increase the time?

In reply to Marlene. Those are two separate recipes Marlene but I love the idea of making tomatillo rice with chicken. If you use white rice use long-grain. The shorter grains of white rice tend to get mushy with the amount of liquid these recipes call for. If you use white rice, reduce the amount of liquid to 1 cup of white rice to 1 cup of liquid. I hope this helps! Let me know how it turns out.

You refer to making the chicken and rice with the tomatillos. Yet this recipe says dont use white rice. How do you change the timing to make the tomatillo rice with chicken? Or is the liquid amount changed.
Thank you

This recipe was so easy. I chopped celery carrots and onions. I dissolved a cube of chicken stock in water. Let my chicken thaw and ran to yoga. When I came back, assembles everything in the instant pot and it was so good. I actually used a box of Uncle Ben’s Rice, mixing the packet in with the chicken stock. I also added an extra 1/2 c of rice! It was perfect!!
