1.25 lbs chicken tenders or boneless chicken breasts

1 cup uncooked rice (of your choice), rinsed

5 stalks of celery, chopped

3 medium-sized carrots, chopped

1 tbsp Olive oil or butter

1 large yellow onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup green peas (optional)

1 cup mushrooms, chopped (optional)

1 tsp dried thyme

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground black pepper

4 cups chicken stock

2 cups water

1 Lemon juice and zest

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Using your pressure cooker, sauté onions in oil or butter until translucent. Add the garlic to the onions and sauté for a minute or until fragrant.

Add celery, mushroom and thyme, sauté for about 2 minutes.

Put the rinsed rice, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and water. Stir one more time and then lock on the lid and turn the heat on high for 7 minutes or until it whistles.

Reduce heat to medium and let it cook for another 10 minutes.

Once pressure has released, open the lid. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred using two forks or in a large bowl with a hand mixer. Set aside.

Without the lid, return the cooker on heat. Add carrots and green peas to the soup and cook on high heat for 2 minutes or until carrots are crisp and tender.

Add shredded chicken. Gradually add lemon juice, then adjust the taste between salt, pepper and lemon juice depending on your preference.

Ladle in soup bowls, garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. To always know the ideal settings and cooking time for your chicken, depending on its thickness and weight, on your pressure cooker, you can use the Pressure Cooker Guide sold here.
