Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup white or brown rice
- 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup bell peppers (chopped)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and minced garlic.
- Sauté: Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add olive oil and sear the seasoned chicken for about three minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from pot.
- Build Your Base: Pour in chicken broth and scrape any bits off the bottom. Add rice and place seared chicken on top.
- Pressure Cook: Close the lid securely and set to pressure cook on high for six minutes. Allow for a natural pressure release for five minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
- Add Veggies: Stir in black beans and chopped bell peppers immediately after removing the lid; the residual heat will warm them without losing crunch.
- Serve: Spoon into bowls and top with cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
