Select the Sauté function on your pressure cooker. Add the olive oil and unsalted butter.

Add the diced onion. Cook until it becomes translucent, ensuring to stir occasionally.

Toss in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Then add the garlic powder for an additional layer of garlic flavor.

Pour in the chicken broth and add the salt. Allow this mixture to come to a simmer.

Add the orzo pasta. Stir well to ensure the pasta is fully coated in the broth.

Secure the lid of the pressure cooker into its place and switch the Steam Release Knob to Sealing position.

Turn off the Sauté function of the pressure cooker.

Select Pressure Cook/Manual function and set the cooking time for 4 minutes.

Once the cooking cycle has completed, quickly release the steam by turning the knob to the Venting position.

After all the steam has been released, and the pin has dropped, open the lid. Immediately start stirring in the Parmesan, followed by the Mozzarella cheese.

Lastly, incorporate the half and half by stirring it into the orzo. Dish it out while it is hot, garnish with fresh thyme leaves just before serving.
