Notes
You can use oil instead of butter if you prefer. Vegetable broth or water can be used instead of chicken broth, but I find that chicken broth adds the most flavor.
Refrigerate any leftover rice in an airtight container for up to 5 days or you can freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months.
This recipe can be made with brown rice if you prefer. If using brown rice, cook on high pressure for 22 minutes instead of 3 minutes.
