Instant Pot Chicken and Pancetta Risotto
Risotto tips:
Ratio is 1 rice:2 broth, i.e. 1 cup of rice, 1.5 cups of stock, 0.5 cup of wine…
Rice should be sauted until it goes translucent then white again. Use white wine to deglaze first, then add the broth.
Cook the risotto on Manual High Pressure for half the time stated in the package for hob cooking.

(I had some leek in the fridge so I added that to this one same time as the potatoes and I also had basil, which I cut and sprinkled in at the end)
