  1. hello, does “cook and dice” chicken and “cook” rice mean, that I need to used previously cooked chicken and previously cooked rice, not the raw ingredients?
    Thank you!

  2. I’m assuming “dairy free” on the ranch dressing means use 1 T of the powder mix? Or, does it mean use the mix combined with a dairy free milk and add a tablespoon of the liquid dressing?

    Sorry, a little confused 🙂

  3. I made this last night, one to sample and one to freeze. Even though I misread the measurement for the rice (used more) and I switched out the white for a combination of wild, brown and white, we declared it a keeper. Will be making another double batch for freezer…..nothing more comforting than hot soup on a cold winter night

  4. Is it safe to double the recipe if I want to make more than one serving? What is the top level you can fill too in the IP? I’m new to all this…lol.

    1. This recipe is good for 4 servings. You sure could double it. There’s a MAX fill line that you should not exceed. And when you’re cooking liquids, you really should only fill the pot two-thirds full. This is a safety precaution that has to do with the way pressure cookers work.

    1. Hi Heidi, that’s a great question! Since you’re cooking from frozen and container sizes vary, we’ve found sauteing for 5 minutes first before cooking helps with thawing and having the cook through. It’s sort of just like a jump start on the cooking process.

      I hope this helps. Happy Cooking! ~ OAMM

  5. This was really good! I made a double batch and for the second one I added a can of cream of mushroom soup to make it a little creamy. My kids love cream of chicken and rice and this was a really tasty alternative!
