Why is my Instant Pot shredded chicken rubbery? Rubbery Instant Pot shredded chicken is usually the result of overcooking the meat.
I always cook 2 cups of rice at a time in my 6-quart Instant Pot. Because it's on the larger side, just 1 cup tends to scorch on the bottom of the pot. But if you have a smaller, 3-quart Instant Pot, feel free to make just 1 cup of rice! You'll use the same cook time and rice to water ratio.
The steam from the rice cooker is so hot that it will cook the chicken through (think pressure cooker!). You can also cut the chicken in smaller pieces and mix it in the rice prior to cooking. The dish is cooked for 45 minutes, so I wouldn't worry about it.
Can you cook raw chicken and rice at the same time? Yes, you can! Make sure you use a ratio of 2:1 for water to rice and to cook the chicken and rice in a covered pot over medium/high heat until the liquid has been absorbed.
