Ingredients

2 cups white rice
oil, for toasting rice (A little; amount not specified)
2.75 cups chicken broth (Source gives a range of 2½–3 cups)
0.5 cup tomato sauce
tomato bouillon (A little; amount not specified)
garlic (Minced; amount not specified)
chicken thighs (Cut into small strips; amount not specified)
1 packet fajita seasoning (Amount is not specified; one packet is inferred from the singular phrasing)
oil, for searing chicken (A little; amount not specified)
1 lb white American cheese
0.625 cup whole milk (Source gives a range of ½–¾ cup; adjust for desired consistency)
salt (A little, optional; amount not specified)
black pepper (A little, optional; amount not specified)

Steps

1
Add the white rice and a little oil to the Instant Pot. Toast the rice; the transcript does not specify a duration or setting.
2
Add the chicken broth, tomato sauce, tomato bouillon, and minced garlic. Mix everything together.
3
Cook the rice in the Instant Pot. The transcript does not give a cooking time or pressure setting.
4
While the rice cooks, cut the chicken thighs into small strips and place them in a mixing bowl.
5
Add the fajita seasoning and mix until all the chicken pieces are coated.
6
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil.
7
Sear the chicken in batches for a couple of minutes on each side, flipping halfway, until fully cooked. Set each cooked batch aside and repeat with the remaining chicken.
8
Add the white American cheese to a pan. Stir in ½–¾ cup whole milk, choosing the amount for the consistency you want.
9
Stir until the cheese is fully melted. The transcript does not specify a heat level or timing.
10
Plate the rice and chicken. Drizzle queso over them and serve. Add a little salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

The transcript does not specify the amounts of chicken, oil, tomato bouillon, garlic, fajita seasoning, salt, or pepper; nor does it provide the rice-cooking setting/time or queso heating level/time. A 4-serving yield and 1-packet seasoning entry are estimates.
