    Do you love fried rice? Me too!! In fact, it is by far, my most favorite dish to order from any and every Chinese restaurant my family goes to!

    Over the years, I have loved to make my tried and true Chicken Fried Rice. It is the skillet version, so if you don’t have an Instant Pot, check that recipe out HERE!

    Now that I have a slight (okay, major) obsession for my Instant Pot, I knew I’d be able to make Chicken Fried Rice even faster in it!

    After a few trial and errors along the way, this recipe was finally a success! In fact, it went perfectly with my Baked Egg Rolls.

    All three of my kids ate it up happily as well, although if you ask my daughter, she would probably say she disliked it until she picked all the peas out, haha!

    If you want to try a one pot, quick and simple Chicken Fried Rice recipe, this is it! Packed with flavor, chicken, rice, and veggies…you can serve it as is or add egg rolls, salad, or fruit as a side dish!

    If you want to change it up, use ham or pork in place of the chicken! The possibilities are endless and you can make it how you please!

    If you try my Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice, keep me posted and let me know what you think!

      I like to add sesame oil when I’m cooking chicken fried rice on the skillet. I’m not used to cooking with my instant pot yet, so I’m wondering if adding sesame oil along with the soy sauce would work or if it would mess up anything. I’m looking forward to trying this!

        Hmmm, I haven’t tried it personally, but it shouldn’t mess anything up. Perhaps use it in lieu of the vegetable oil though. You can even increase it a bit to about 1 tbsp instead of the teaspoon. Hope that helps and you enjoy!

      This looks and sounds so good! Can I use frozen chicken (already diced thankfully)?

        Absolutely! That works too, just add 1 minute to the cook time!

      My rice was a little crunchy even after a couple extra sessions of cook time. Was I supposed to use minute rice? Should the rice be on the bottom? Any suggestions?

        Nope, no need to use Minute Rice, I used long grain rice in mine! As for it being on the bottom, you just need to make sure the rice is fully submerged in the liquid prior to it cooking.
