2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Steps

Set a 6-quart Instant Pot to sauté, heat the oil and butter, and cook the onion and carrots for 6 minutes.
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces, season it with salt and pepper, and add it to the pot for 3 minutes.
Stir in the broth, rinsed rice, and garlic, then scrape the bottom of the pot clean.
Seal the pot and cook at high pressure for 6 minutes.
