Instant Pot® Chicken Stew with Ancient Grains image

This stew is made using a blend of rice called "ancient grains" consisting of brown rice, pearled wheat berries, red rice, and wild rice. It is fast to make with the help of rotisserie chicken. Although, you can certainly use boneless skinless chicken breasts as well. Serve with crusty bread or dumplings if desired.

I love that this recipe uses ancient grains. They're so much healthier than white rice or pasta, and they add a great texture to the stew.
