Looking for an easy delicious dinner idea that’s ready in just 30 minutes? Then you’ll love this recipe for  Instant Pot Cajun Chicken and Rice!

 

Thank you VEETEE RICE for sponsoring this post and making it so easy to get dinner on the table! All opinions are 100% my own. 

I have a new love in my life and he’s all about instant gratification. Okay so maybe he’s not but I do have very strong feelings for my Instant Pot. I mean how do you not love a device that can cook almost anything in about 30 minutes!

Thirty minutes is all you need to prepare this easy recipe for Instant Pot Cajun and Rice. My secret for getting this recipe completed in just 30 minutes is VEETEE RICE. This fantastic product is microwaved or stir fried in just 3 minutes making it the perfect choice to help you get dinner on the table fast.

 

 

Did you know that VEETEE RICE comes in a wide variety types and flavors? It does in fact there are nine great flavors in including Long Grain White Rice like in this Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken and Rice 

For this Instant Pot Cajun Chicken and Rice I used VeeTee Wholegrain Brown Rice. The nutty flavors in brown rice is the perfect compliment to cajun flavors. It’s also a healthy option if you are watching your weight or sugar in take.

I’m still learning my way around the Instant Pot and it’s many functions but I’m a big fan of the ease and functionality! onion  That means one less dish to wash and I’ll never complain about that, ever.

 

 

VeeTee Rice is a great addition to your pantry and can be a lifesaver on busy days when you think you are too busy to cook. We always have a few packages of the Long Grain White Rice and the Spicy Mexican Rice on hand for fast dinners. Trust me the next time you’re at the grocery store grab a few packages and give VeeTee Rice a try!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by New South Charm! I hope you’ll stay a while and check out some other great recipes!
