Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups long-grain white rice
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 cup salsa
¾ cup frozen corn
1 ½ cups grated Cheddar cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Pour oil into the pot and add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Saute for 2 minutes. Add chicken and season with cumin, cayenne, and salt; stir to combine. Continue cooking until onion is clear and chicken is slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in rice and saute, allowing oil and spices to coat grains.
Stir black beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, salsa, and corn into the pot. Mix well. Cancel Saute function. Close and lock the lid with vent turned to Sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Cover the top with Cheddar cheese and replace the lid. Let steam melt the cheese before serving, about 3 minutes.

INSTANT POT MEXICAN CHICKEN

Instant Pot Mexican Chicken image

Feel free to adjust the spices as you prefer. Make it more or less spicy. Add oregano or change the cumin amount, etc.. You can also just replace the spices for 1 bag of taco seasoning if you prefer. Chicken thigh or leg meat will be juicer than breast meat, but if you prefer, the breast meat still comes out quite nice. We'll usually prefer boneless, skinless but feel free to use whatever you have available.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken (, preferrably boneless and skinless (*see head note))
1 cup tomato sauce ( or salsa)
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce ( or soy sauce)
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (, or more to taste)
Fresh cracked black pepper (, to taste)
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder (, or to taste (optional, for spicy flavor))

Steps:

Add everything into Instant Pot (chicken, tomato sauce or salsa, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper and optional chipotle powder). Stir to combine all the spices into the sauce.
Close the lid, set to high pressure, and after the pressure cooker reaches full pressure, cook for about 15 minutes *depending on size of chicken & preferred doneness. (These are the steps we did for our Instant Pot: Press the "Manual" button. Set the time to 15 minutes and our Instant Pot starts up automatically, counting down the timer after it reaches pressure.)
Take the chicken pieces out of the Instant Pot, cut into 1-2 inch pieces, then place back in the Instant Pot. Shed with a couple forks to break up the chicken.
Taste the chicken and add more salt if needed. Serve in tacos, on salads, in quesadillas, etc.
