Add the broth and then the rice to the Instant Pot. Lock the lid and move the venting knob to "Seal". Push Manual and the timer for 30 minutes on High Pressure. Push Cancel at the end of the cooking time and leave for a 15 minute Natural Release. Slowly move the venting knob to the "Vent" position to release the remaining pressure.

Carefully remove the lid and give the soup a stir. If you want it to be thicker, press the "Saute" button and heat on low (by pressing the Adjust button) until your desired texture. Stir in the shredded chicken.

Add your desired garnishes and serve (we like to have them in small bowls and customize as we like).
