I hardly ever feel compelled to leave a recipe review, but this recipe is awesome. My stovetop brown rice always comes out mushy and split and this is nothing like that. Each rice kernel is full, nutty, separate, tender--amazing. I thought this would be too long to cook rice, but it's perfect. My husband and I both love white rice, but we both agreed we'd eat more brown rice if it comes out like this.

In reply to Phil. Hi Phil! Some varieties of white rice have been sprayed with nutrients. So technically, that will rinse away those vitamins. However, rinsing rice will not remove rice's natural nutrients and benefits. So in terms of nutrition and fiber, brown rice is better for you overall.

I usually prefer Basmati white rice because it tastes better. (It cooks great in the Instant Pot in 6 minutes.) My wife would like me to eat brown rice because it is healthier. This recipe rinses the raw rice. Everything that I have ever read claims that rinsing the rice will wash away nutrients. At that point, the brown rice might not be a healthier choice. ????

In reply to Ed Jordan. Hi Ed! I fully understand you would prefer to eat brown rice. To use brown rice for this recipe, follow the recipe as stated, omitting the chicken and using brown rice instead of white rice. Cook for 22 minutes on HIGH pressure. Once the cooking time has elapsed, allow pressure to release naturally and stir in precooked chicken AFTER pressure cooking.

We prefer brown to white rice nowadays. Do you have a recipe for chicken and rice (or other meats and rice) that uses brown rice?

I always avoided brown rice before I found this recipe. The cook time was too long, it often didn't actually cook, or it burned. Now brown rice is my go to. This method has never failed, is quick and easy, and the rice turns out perfect every time.

I love brown rice for its texture and health benefits but always struggle to get it right. Instant Pot is definitely the way to go. Thank for the instructions!

In reply to Tori Rice. No unfortunately, quick cooking brown rice is precooked and cooks different. I have had others share with me that they have had success cooking for 5 minutes on high pressure with natural release. You still want to use a 1:1 ratio.

I’ve tried so many brown rice recipes for my IP and this was the the one!, others were okay but often too hard. My girlfriend and I loved it!

Thanks for the tip on refrigerating or freezing rice. I don't like leftovers to sit out as it dries out, but I didn't know about the risk of bacteria.
