Step 2List Item 2
Assemble the Instant Pot congee by placing uncooked rice at the bottom of the pot. Add garlic, ginger, and mushrooms on top. Arrange the chicken pieces over the rice and aromatics. Pour in seven cups of water. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Seal the Instant Pot by closing and locking the lid, and set the steam release valve to the "sealing" position. Initiate cooking by pressing the "porridge" button; the pot will heat and build pressure for 20 minutes.

Step 3
After 20 minutes, the pot switches to "keep warm" mode and begins to release pressure naturally. Avoid opening the steam release valve during this time. When the float valve falls back down, open the steam valve and then the lid.
(Take out the chicken and shred it or cut it to your liking. Put it back into the porridge.)
