Instructions

  1. Start the Instant Pot on sauté mode with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil; simultaneously, slice green onions, separating white and light green parts from dark green parts.

  2. Brown the sliced andouille sausage for 3 minutes until lightly browned, then remove with a slotted spoon.

  3. Brown the diced chicken with 0.5 tablespoon of vegetable oil for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove.

  4. Sauté chopped yellow onion, bell pepper, and celery in the pot until the onion is translucent, adding more oil if necessary.

  5. Add minced garlic, Creole seasoning, and thyme; cook for 1 minute, then cancel the sauté function.

  6. Stir in the bay leaf and chicken stock, scraping the pot's bottom to loosen any browned bits; taste and add salt if needed.

  7. Add the tomatoes with their juices, rice, and the white and light green parts of the green onions; return the sausage and chicken to the pot and stir to combine.

  8. Lock the lid, set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 7 minutes, and perform a quick release when cooking is complete.

  9. Stir the shrimp into the pot, cover, and let stand on the warm setting for 10 minutes until cooked through.

  10. Stir in half of the reserved dark green parts of the green onions.

  11. Garnish individual servings with the remaining dark green green onions and chopped parsley, if desired.
