½
teaspoon
black pepper
¼
teaspoon
ground ginger
1
yellow onion, chopped
1

Instructions
Add the chicken to the inner pot, then season with next 5 ingredients
Add the onion, carrots, celery and carrots
Pour in the chicken broth, then add the lemon juice and zest
Cover, turn valve to SEALING position, then hit PRESSURE COOK for 10 minutes
When pot beeps, allow a 5 to 10 minute natural release, then do a gradual quick release, and remove lid when pin drops
Remove chicken, hit CANCEL, then hit SAUTE and add orzo pasta. Cook until pasta is tender or done to your liking
Meanwhile, cut chicken into large pieces, and return to pot

Notes
Optional -- add cooked pasta when serving. Orzo sucks up a lot of broth, and leftovers turn to mostly chicken and orzo with very little broth left.
