A warm and comforting Chinese inspired chicken congee made easily in the Instant Pot.

Scale

Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In the Instant Pot, combine rinsed rice, chicken broth, chicken thighs, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt. Stir gently.
Seal the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing. Select the ‘Porridge’ setting and set the timer for 20 minutes.
After cooking, allow for a natural pressure release for about 10 minutes, then switch the valve to venting to release remaining pressure.
Open the lid and stir the congee. Remove chicken thighs and shred them with two forks.
Return shredded chicken to the pot and stir into the congee. Adjust consistency with more broth or water if needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or salt if desired.
Ladle congee into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Serve with soy sauce and chili oil on the side.
