For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in the Instant Pot using the Sauté function before adding the other ingredients. Feel free to adjust the amount of vegetables to your liking. Other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers would also be delicious additions. If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute it with heavy cream or milk, but be mindful of the change in richness and consistency. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and dill sprigs for a bright and flavorful finish.

01
Step
33 mins
In a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot), combine the chicken broth and brown rice, ensuring the rice is well-moistened. Add the cubed chicken, diced onion, carrot, celery, frozen corn, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select the high-pressure setting and set the timer for 18 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build.
02
Step
12 mins
Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes. Carefully release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method, which should take approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove the lid.
03
Step
5 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together the half-and-half and cornstarch until smooth. Stir this mixture into the soup in the Instant Pot, along with the frozen peas. Select the Sauté function and cook, stirring constantly, until the soup has thickened and is bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
