    I also got the burn error and my recipe actually called for 1 3/4 cups of broth. I added about 1/2 cup more water and got the burn error again. I ended up using the sauté function to finish it. After all that, we thankfully really enjoyed it. We thought it could have more flavour so next time I’d double the spices and I’ll be using the PIP method for the rice, but I will definitely be making again.

    The recipe called for 3/4 cup chicken stock or water but that seemed too little for the amount of rice called for. After reading the other notes on this recipe, I instead used 1 3/4 cup chicken stock and the dish turned out really well. I also used red bell pepper instead of green. I served the olives on the side for whoever wanted them, I personally liked them in the dish but some of my family isn’t so keen on olives. It’s a delicious, spicy dish and easy to make but the amount of chicken stock/water has to be a typo.

    I also go the burn error, but once I added 3/4 c more water, it was fine. It turned out great. Wonderful flavor for minimum effort.

    I’ve made this twice. First time, zero sticking. Second time, some sticking of rice but it honestly only added flavor to the dish once stirred. My instant pot never gives me a burn error so maybe that’s my model... anyway, this is easy and delicious.

    I also had the “burn” error with this recipe. I think there might be a typo and there should be more liquid. But once I added a bunch more water and then ended up using the sauté feature to finish cooking, the flavor was fantastic.

    This was really delicious—it’s reminiscent of paella, very flavorful and not spicy despite the cayenne and chili pepper. Unfortunately, I got the dreaded “burn” error due to serious sticking of rice to the insert. Switching to pot-in-pot cooking solved the problem. After transferring the chicken and rice to an IP friendly mixing bowl and cleaning the insert, I cooked PiP at high pressure for 5 minutes, per the recipe’s original directions. Next time I make this—and there will be a next time—I will go immediately to pot-in-pot cooking once we get to the rice stage.
