  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup water

  • Quick-release pressure. A thermometer inserted in chicken should read at least 165°. Press cancel. Remove chicken and keep warm. Select saute setting; adjust for low heat. Simmer cooking juices until thickened, 8-10 minutes. Serve with rice and chicken.
