Directions
Select the SAUTÉ setting on a programmable pressure multicooker (such as Instant Pot). (Times, instructions, and settings may vary according to cooker brand or model.) Select the HIGH-temperature setting, and allow it to preheat for 2 to 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together rosemary, thyme, salt, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, dry mustard, and oregano in a small bowl. Rub chicken evenly with the spice mixture.
Add oil and chicken to the pot; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate, reserving drippings in the pot.
Add rice to cooker; stir to coat with drippings. Press CANCEL. Stir in broth. Nestle chicken into rice. Cover cooker with lid, and lock in place. Select HIGH pressure for 9 minutes. When cooking has finished, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a plate. Gently stir grated lemon zest into the rice. Serve rice with chicken and lemon wedges.
