From time to time my sweet Mavis gets an upset stomach. She looks at me pitifully with her big brown eyes and I fall apart, feeling like the worst mom ever. Inevitably what happens next is a trip to the vet and an expensive bill to tell me to feed her a bland diet and see how things progress. I’m delaying my vet visit and starting with the bland diet of chicken and rice. My sister thinks Mavis has caught on to the routine and is faking illness because she loves chicken and rice. I respect that.

After much googling, I found an easy Instant Pot that I’m posting here so that the next time this happens (which I’m sure there will be a next time), I can go to my blog instead of searching endlessly. Stupid easy, but when you have a sick dog, any time saved is worth it.

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups white rice
  • 2 cups water

Steps

  • place rice in instantpot
  • place chicken on top of rice
  • pour water on top (should almost cover chicken breasts)
  • shut lid and set InstantPot to manual 10 minutes
  • When done, let it naturally release

This makes a LOT of chicken and rice. I am sure Mavis won’t mind sharing the extra rice with me..and maybe some of the chicken. I’ll probably cut in half and see if it still cooks okay. No pictures of the recipe in action, just Mavis being Mavis
