THE "OOPS! I FORGOT TO THAW THE CHICKEN" DINNER

Use your Instant Pot® to turn frozen chicken breasts, basmati rice, and whatever veggies you have on hand into a filling and delicious dinner on those nights when you don't have time to mess with thawing your chicken. This is the perfect recipe if you forgot to take out the chicken from the freezer. Every time I make this I am so happy with how tender and juicy the chicken is, as well as how perfect the rice comes out; fluffy, never mushy.

Steps:

  • Pour rinsed rice into the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Stir in broth, olive oil, and salt. Add carrots, shallot, and garlic. Place frozen chicken breasts on top, about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning over everything.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select Poultry function, or high pressure, according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes. Release any remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method. Unlock and remove the lid. Check the temperature of the chicken breasts at the thickest section; an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove the chicken breasts and fluff the rice with a fork. Place the rice and vegetables on a plate. Top with chicken breasts and sprinkle with cilantro before serving.

20 QUICK DINNER IDEAS WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING PLANNED

From olgasflavorfactory.com
Estimated Reading Time 6 mins
  • Pan Fried Potatoes are a favorite Slavic stand by meal. In addition to potatoes, I also always have onions, dry mushrooms and fresh herbs in my kitchen, so this works out well too.
  • Spanish Tortilla: this is essentially a potato and onion frittata. The peas and roasted peppers give texture, freshness and color too. Frozen peas are awesome to have on hand in the freezer, and roasted red peppers are another panty ingredient that add flavor to many meals.
  • Potato Pancakes are my weakness. I would be happy with potato pancakes for dinner any time.
  • Loaded Baked Potatoes or Baked Potatoes with various toppings. I keep bacon in the freezer, so it stays fresh much longer and can be used to add meat to different meals without needing to thaw it, since I put it in the oven right out of the freezer.
  • Scalloped Potatoes With Ham: Chop up a bit of ham and add it to the potatoes, and it quickly becomes a one dish dinner instead of a side dish. Sandwiches and wraps are some of the simplest dinner options.
  • Panini: The Turkey Caprese Panini is my favorite, but there are endless options. The crisp bread, the gooey and melted cheese are so delicious and make it into a special meal instead of a cold, dry sandwich.
  • Monte Cristo Sandwiches is another type of hot sandwich that is sort of like a savory stuffed french toast.
  • Salmon or Tuna Melts: Canned tuna or canned or leftover salmon make these sandwiches an option any day of the week. The hot creamy topping with melted cheese and a fresh slice of tomato pair so well with the crunchy and toasted bread.
  • Wraps: If you have tortillas on hand, you can use whatever ingredients you have on hand to create lots of different wraps. My favorites are the Chicken Caprese Wraps and the Chicken Cucumber Wraps, but you can make many other combinations.
  • Tomato Soup With Garlic Bread: Canned tomatoes are also a pantry staple for me, so I can make Tomato Soup any day of the week. Paired with hot and flavorful garlic bread, it’s simple and a perfect combination.
