Instructions

Turn your pressure cooker on to the saute mode and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter.

Meanwhile, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Add to the pot with the vegetables and stir. Lightly pat mixture into an even layer.
Add the rice on top of the chicken, again in an even layer.
