In reply to Ben. Hi Ben! As per step 4, add them on top of the rice, but don't stir. Enjoy 😊

In reply to Mike. Hi Mike! I use raw chicken and precooked sausage. Your chicken will be cooked in time :) Enjoy!

Hi! You mention that you use pre-cooked chicken when you’re discussing rice in this recipe. Does that mean that the recipe times presupposes that the chicken is precooked? Or, should the times provided be sufficient to cook raw chicken? Thanks!

In reply to Jennifer Williams. Hi Jennifer! Yes, the cooking would change. Brown rice needs 22 minutes instead of 3 minutes. I prefer white rice for this recipe so that the chicken does not overcook and dry out, as it likely would if using brown rice.

Hi Kristen! If I sub brown rice for the long grain white rice will that effect the cooking time on the instant pot?

In reply to Reginia Sam. Hi Regina! For the timing tobwork, the chicken needs to be cut into bite-sized pieces. So as long as you plan to do that, yes, chicken thighs with the skin will work fine.

Can I use chicken thighs with the skin on since that’s all I have ?

In reply to Linda. Hi Linda! I make this dish all the time without adding shrimp. It will be perfect after step 6. Enjoy!

Hi, My son is allergic to shellfish. If I omit the Shrimp is the rice fully cooked after step 6 or should I let it sit for another 10 minutes?

In reply to Chris. Hi Chris, I would defrost the okra first and then add with the tomatoes.

In reply to Kristen Chidsey. This looks delicious! In an effort to add more veggies, what do you think about adding frozen okra? When do you think it should it be added to avoid overcooking it?

In reply to Erin.

This recipe is delicious! I added a little more cajun seasoning and did not use hot sauce. But it cooks perfectly. Love it.

In reply to Erin. I prefer raw for the best texture and results but pre-cooked technically works.

Should the frozen shrimp be pre-cooked or raw?

This was amazing! I did add a few jalapeños just because we're practically swimming in them. It was incredibly tasty and so easy. Thanks!
