Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil, divided
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
3 green onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained

2 teaspoons Cajun seasonings
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
12 ounces andouille sausages cut into 1/4 in. thick slices
1 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into small pieces

Directions

Turn instant pot to sauté setting. Add oil. Once hot, add sausage slices, cooking until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel, lined plate.
Add remaining oil to the pot.
Add the chicken and cook for 1 minute, scraping up the browned bits from the sausage. Turn instant pot off. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the Cajun seasoning, dried basil, thyme, sugar and rice. Stir to combine.
Add the diced tomatoes and their juices, chicken broth, and salt.
Secure the instant pot lid and turn valve to sealing.
Cook on Manual High Pressure for 5 minutes.
Carefully open the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork. Add the sausages on top of the rice and return the IP lid to let the mixture rest for an additional 5 minutes. Stir lightly and enjoy!
