Our Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice has quickly become a huge family favorite. The rice is perfectly cooked. I use my shredded chicken recipe, frozen mixed veggie blend, soy sauce, and of course some eggs for a mouthwatering take-out fake-out dinner in 20 minutes.
Ordering take-out is expensive. Especially now, everyone is staying home more often and cooking can be a chore. You can enjoy this wonderful fried rice right at home and its so good. This is an economical, quick, versatile, and delicious recipe. If you don't like chicken, leave it out. Have some leftover pork tenderloin, add it in.
The chicken is cooked before adding to the recipe. As I stated above, you can use your Instant Pot to make a large batch of chicken to keep in the freezer for recipes like this one. You can also use leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken.
If you are gluten-free, use Tamari. I have also finally found a nice gluten-free soy sauce for my daughters.
We use long grain rice or basmati. I highly recommend rinsing and draining the rice to prevent sticking. Use a sieve to rinse the rice.
Ginger Paste is one of those ingredients I have been using for some time. It is a great way to add flavor and it keeps in the fridge for a long time. If you can't find it or don't have any on hand, finely chop 1 Tablespoon of ginger.
For a quick dinner, use frozen mixed vegetables, let them defrost slightly. Fresh carrots can be used.
Photos always help to understand the cooking progress. The instructions here are an overview. The full printable recipe is below in the recipe card section.
2. Add oil to the pot. Then add the peas and carrot. Stir occasionally till warm.
3. Stir in the garlic and ginger paste for about 30 seconds to infuse the flavor.
4. Move the veggies to the side of the vessel. Add in the eggs to quickly scramble
5. Stir in soy sauce, cooked rice, cooked chicken, and green onions.
6. Serve in bowls. Top with more chopped green onions and sesame seeds. (optional garnish)
My Instant Pot is used multiple times a week. It is quick and easy to use. My Granny started me on using a pressure cooker many years ago with these Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, which is such a different recipe than an Asian recipe, This is why I love my Instant Pot, so many options.
Leftovers can be kept in a covered container in the fridge for about 2 days. For more specifics, refer to the experts at the USDA for leftovers tips.
The fried rice can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight. We reheat in a baking dish with a little water in the bottom of the dish until warm, about 15 minutes. If using a microwave, follow the microwave instructions for reheating.

Our Caramel Macchiato Recipe is decadently delicious. It is flavor-packed with rich coffee and caramel. This is a year round favorite as you can enjoy it as a hot or iced beverage. You will save so much money because this recipe makes it unnecessary to go to Starbucks again!
This is one of my familys favorite coffee drinks. I love it hot but the kids love the macchiato served cold over ice. Set up a coffee bar with all the makings for this tasty coffee plus homemade Hot Chocolate. Serve some cake-pops and the family will think you are a Starbucks chain.
The ingredients are simple and easy. Feel free to use homemade caramel sauce. However, store made sauce is what I use most of the time. If you need a lower fat ingredient for the heavy cream, we've used light whipping cream. A slightly different texture but delicious.
Espresso is used in the Starbucks macchiato, however, a strong coffee can be used. To make espresso, use either an espresso machine or a stovetop type of espresso maker, or use Instant Espresso. The other option is using strong coffee, which my family prefers.
Pour the coffee or espresso into a mug or cup. Add in the sugar.
Mix in the caramel sauce.
Add in the heavy cream.
Serve hot, topped with whipped cream and drizzle with more caramel sauce. For an Iced Caramel Macchiato, add ice to the espresso mixture, then top with whipped cream and caramel sauce.
Once the hot macchiato is made, it is best to drink it. We have kept leftover espresso in the fridge for 1-2 days without any other ingredients.
While enjoy this macchiato on its own is awesome, how about having a little sweet treat with it? Our Pecan Sandies are super popular and would be a great cookie to snack on with the coffee. A slice of Pineapple Upside Down Cake would be another delicious choice. Our Cream Cheese Danish is another sweet treat to enjoy.
Some more of our favorite drinks include this fall favorite, Pumpkin Spice Latte. Warm Spiced Cranberry Punch, a winter favorite. Last but not least, my Dad's Famous Irish Coffee.

You will love using the Instant Pot to make these Hot Cocoa Bombs. We use chocolate candy melts the chocolate doesn't need to temper. So these are so easy to prepare. If you don't have an Instant Pot, you will still be able to make these fun chocolate treats by using a microwave or double boiler.
I think everyone knows about these super fun hot chocolate bombs that are the big craze. My girls and my niece just love them. We started experimenting and you will love how easy these are to prepare at home. You will also save so much money by making your own. Plus, there are endless possibilities with creativity.
Red Candy Melts make these festive for Valentines Day or Christmas. You can use any color candy melt too. White candy melts are neutral and you can decorate the bombs with your favorite sprinkles for any Holiday. Of course, the classic chocolate can be used any time.
1. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Place water inside Instant Pot. Place a glass bowl that will fit in your Instant Pot as it will act as a double boiler.
2. Add in your candy melts to the bowl. Stir and let them melt.
3. Spray the inside of your silicone molds with non-stick spray. Add chocolate to your molds making sure that chocolate is completely coating the mold on the inside. Place in the freezer for about five minutes.
5. Add more of your melted chocolate on top of the marshmallows to close the mold. Return to the freezer for about 5 to 10 minutes.
6. Remove the cocoa bombs from the molds.
7. With a spoon, drizzle your remaining chocolate over the bombs. Immediately add your sprinkles.
8. Put a bomb in a mug. Pour hot milk over it to melt the chocolate.
Keep your hot cocoa bombs in the fridge in a covered container until ready to use. They can be stored for at least a month however. I'm sure they won't last that long.
Other sweet treats you may enjoy are Instant Pot Hot Chocolate, this is a mix of white and milk chocolate, so darn good. Homemade Almond Roca is delicious and would be a wonderful treat along with hot cocoa. Rocky Road Candy is another decadently wonderful fudge that is always a hit.

Instant Pot Queso is loaded with cheesy goodness. Whether your looking for a tailgate snack, appetizer, or Mexican fiesta, this will be your go-to recipe for deliciousness. This tasty and hearty gluten-free Mexican cheese dip is ready in just a few minutes. Get out those tortilla chips and get ready to dip
This aromatic Instant Pot queso dip is a combination of hearty ground beef, zesty Rotel tomatoes, spices, cheddar, and Monterey cheese. We add in some evaporated milk to give creaminess to the mix. A sure fire hit for any day. Looking for a quick and easy game day snack, this is it. The addition of ground beef makes this very hearty. Those Scoop tortilla chips pick up the cheese like a little ladle and oh my gosh, yum!
Ground beef is a wonderful choice. You can vary the ingredients and use ground turkey or sausage.
I use fire roasted Rotel tomatoes for the best flavor. Regular diced tomatoes can be used but again, you may need to up your spices when using plain diced tomatoes.
We highly recommend grating your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese can have a film on it that when melted can be clumpy.
I don't know anyone who doesn't love a great queso recipe. This Mexican nacho dip is made in the Instant Pot and there is very little to do. Once you brown your meat, add everything in, close the vent and let it work. No worrying about burning the bottom, etc. An easy peasy recipe.
1. Set your instant pot to sauté mode. Once it is hot, add in your meat, and break it up into small pieces. Continue to sauté until brown. Once done, drain, and set the meat aside.
2. Still having your instant pot on sauté mode, stir in the unsalted butter. Add in the onions. Continue to stir, soften, for about 3 to 5 minutes until fully softened. Once the onions are done, adding your jalapeños for an additional minute. Mix.
3. Add in garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Stir all of the ingredients together for about 1 more minute. Mix in your Rotel, and salt and pepper.
4. Pour in your milk and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any residue from the meat or vegetables. This will add extra flavor to your queso.
5. Add the meat to your pot. Keeping your instant pot on sauté mode, use the + button to increase the heat on your instant pot. Whisk well and allow it to boil. Once it has reached a high boil, keep it there for one minute. Add in all of your cheese, mix, and then put your lid on the instant pot. Leave it for five minutes to melt.
6. Remove the lid, cheese will all be melted.
7. Serve with chips, enjoy.
A few of my favorite dips are Everything But the Bagel Dip, Instant Pot Hummus, and Easy Beer Cheese Dip.

Chicken Sausage Vegetable Skillet is becoming a go-to one-pan meal for my family. In 25 minutes, a delicious and nutritious dinner is served. I use chicken apple sausage which is loaded with flavor. They are complemented by peppers, zucchini, and Brussels sprouts which give a bang of veggies that add freshness to this meal.
Chicken sausage comes in so many wonderful flavors but for this recipe, I like to use the sausage flavored with apple. Especially after the Holidays, I like to up my veggies and this is the perfect meal.
The veggies complement each other very well. However, if you want to change things up, feel free to swap out your favorite veggies. If you don't like one of the veggies, leave them out.
We use Aidells brand but any of your favorite sausages can be used in this recipe.
If swapping veggies, just be sure to add vegetables that cook similiar to each other. Broccoli, mushrooms, and string beans will work well.
For the peppers, any of your favorite color peppers.
As for the onions, yellow onions or shallots are great.
Keep leftovers in the fridge, covered for up to 3 days.
This is great on its own as it is loaded with veggies and protein. If looking for a side, our Hawaiian sweet rolls or Cucumber Tomato Salad would be great with the chicken sausage and vegetables.
