Ingredients

Scale
  • pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice, rinsed and drained
  • 2½ cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Dice onion and bell pepper, mince garlic, and rinse rice until water runs clear.
  2. Set Instant Pot to sauté function and add olive oil. Once hot, add onions and bell peppers, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add chicken pieces and sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 3 minutes until chicken is lightly browned.
  5. Pour in diced tomatoes with green chilies, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  6. Add black beans, corn, and rinsed rice, then pour in chicken broth. Push rice down to ensure it’s submerged, but don’t stir.
  7. Cancel sauté function, secure lid, and set valve to “sealing.” Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  8. Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully release remaining pressure.
  9. Open lid and gently fluff rice mixture with a fork. Let rest for 2-3 minutes.
  10. Serve with your choice of toppings like fresh cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, or lime juice.
