Ingredients

• ✓ medium-grain white rice
• olive oil
• chicken thigh
• salt
• smoked sausage
• sweet onion
• red bell pepper
• garlic
• paprika
• turmeric
• cayenne pepper
• saffron
• sherry
• chicken broth
• tomato
• pea

Instructions

1. 1 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function. Add olive oil to the pot and heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
2. 2 Season chicken thighs with salt. Place chicken, skin-side down, in the hot oil. Cook until skin is golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath several times to prevent skin from sticking to the pot. Turn and cook until other side is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove chicken thighs to a plate.
3. 3 Add sausage, onion, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, and saffron. Stir constantly until spices are aromatic and rice becomes translucent and shiny.
4. 4 Pour in sherry and cook until absorbed, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Turn off Sauté setting and place chicken thighs over rice. Turn the pressure regulator to the sealing position; select Manual and set cooking time for 12 minutes at high pressure. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
5. 5 Release pressure using the natural-release method for 10 minutes according to manufacturer's instructions. Turn the pressure regulator to 'venting' and release remaining pressure. Remove the lid, transfer chicken thighs to a clean plate, and pour in tomatoes and peas. Mix well.
6. 6 Switch to Sauté mode and cook until liquid is mostly evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Top each serving of rice with a chicken thigh.

Ingredients

• ✓ medium-grain white rice
• chicken
• carrot
• celery
• red onion
• bay leaf
• water
• butter
• mushroom
• salt
• red onion
• garlic
• black pepper
• cayenne pepper
• thyme

Instructions

1. 1 Place chicken, carrot, celery, onion, and bay leaf in a stockpot. Add 4 quarts of cold water, or enough to cover the chicken. Bring to a simmer on high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer gently until the meat can be easily pulled off the bones and is no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours.
2. 2 Remove the meat and bones to a bowl and allow to cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Leave the stockpot over low heat. Separate the meat from the bones and skin and break it up into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
3. 3 Transfer the bones and skin back to the stockpot and continue to simmer on low until needed.
4. 4 Melt butter in a soup pot over medium-high heat until it starts to brown. Add mushrooms and salt; saute until mushrooms are well browned. Add garlic and diced onion and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Strain in 4 cups of the chicken broth from the stockpot and bring to a simmer. Add black pepper, cayenne, and thyme. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. 5 Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if needed; remove thyme stems. Stir in the chicken meat and a few more cups of the chicken broth to achieve the desired texture. The soup will continue to thicken as the rice swells, so more may be needed if you want a thinner soup.
6. 6 Let simmer until chicken is heated through and has absorbed the flavors, and rice is fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Taste one last time for seasoning. Adjust with more broth as needed. Serve immediately.
